This crucial Serie A clash brings together two sides enjoying vastly different seasons so far – and these Salernitana vs. Cremonese predictions suggest that it will be the home side that will end up with three more points.
Salernitana vs. Cremonese odds
1 – Salernitana to win – 11/10
2 – Over 2.5 goals scored – 10/11
3 – Salernitana to win to nil – 11/4
4 – Boulaye Dia to score at any time – 9/4
5 – Half time/Full time Salernitana/Salernitana – 12/5
Franck Ribéry may not be on the pitch anymore for Salernitana, but his influence from the sideline must still be considerable by the way the Granata came back to beat Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico last weekend. Salernitana were the first to score against the Aquile in over 600 minutes and took advantage of the home side losing their heads to post an impressive 3-1 victory.
After beating Spezia the week before, that took the club up to a fully deserved tenth in the table. Boulaye Dia only came on as a sub against Lazio but scored yet again to extend his tally to five. He could get the nod to start here and will be confident of adding more against bottom-placed Cremonese.
Salernitana’s early flurry of draws this season is now looking like a good base for the campaign and there will an expectation to win another three points on Saturday.
Cremonese would dearly love to win just one match before the season temporarily breaks for the World Cup. The promoted club is the only side in Serie A not pick up three points yet and things are beginning to look dismal for the Grigiorossi.
Massimiliano Alvini’s team did manage a point at home against Udinese last weekend, with a result that should probably be regarded as a positive. But the gap at the bottom will only get bigger from here on in.
With just nine goals scored all season, there seems little confidence in results changing too soon and it could be another quiet day for the Cremonese strikers. Salernitana should be in control of this one from the kick off.

Salernitana team news
Davide Nicola could repay Boulaye Dia’s goals contribution with a place in the starting line-up on Saturday, with Polish striker Krzysztof Piatek possibly making way. Apart from that, he should be happy to stick with the players who came away from the Stadio Olimpico with all three points.
Cremonese team news
Massimiliano Alvini could well put his faith in the players that did so well to take a point off Udinese last week. The influential Vlad Chiriches is still out with an injury but Cyriel Dessers could be given another chance up front alongside David Okereke.
