Our predictions for Cremonese vs Lazio
Match Prediction: Cremonese 1-1 Lazio
Cremonese come into this with only one win in their last five league matches, and that was followed by a goalless draw and a heavy defeat at Napoli, so they will need a much cleaner attacking display at home. Lazio’s recent results are a bit more mixed, but they have still taken wins at Napoli and Bologna in that run, which suggests they can travel well enough to make this awkward for the hosts.
The head-to-head data points to a tight contest more often than not, with the most recent meeting ending 0-0 and Lazio only edging the 2023 game 3-2. Cremonese’s 4-4-2 should help them stay compact, but Lazio’s 4-3-3 gives them more natural width and a bit more control in midfield. Match Prediction: Cremonese 0-1 Lazio
Form Guide & Team Overview
Cremonese
Cremonese’s recent league form has been patchy, with one win, one draw and three defeats from their last five. They have struggled for goals in particular, scoring just once across the last four matches, including a 0-0 draw with Torino and a 0-4 loss at Napoli.
The home defeat to Bologna and the away loss at Cagliari show they have not been consistently strong in either setting, even if the 2-0 win at Parma offered a positive note. Based on that run, they look capable of making games competitive, but not yet reliable enough to be trusted for goals or results.
Recent Serie A Results:
- Loss: 0-4 vs Napoli (A)
- Draw: 0-0 vs Torino (H)
- Loss: 0-1 vs Cagliari (A)
- Loss: 1-2 vs Bologna (H)
- Win: 2-0 vs Parma (A)
Lazio
Lazio’s last five league matches have produced two wins, two draws and one defeat, which is a steadier return than Cremonese’s. The standout result in that sequence is the 2-0 win at Napoli, while the 3-3 draw with Udinese shows they can also be involved in open games.
They have not been flawless, with the 0-1 loss at Fiorentina and the 1-1 draw with Parma showing some inconsistency. Even so, the away wins at Napoli and Bologna suggest they have enough in their recent form to be taken seriously on the road.
Recent Serie A Results:
- Draw: 3-3 vs Udinese (H)
- Win: 2-0 vs Napoli (A)
- Loss: 0-1 vs Fiorentina (A)
- Draw: 1-1 vs Parma (H)
- Win: 2-0 vs Bologna (A)
Head-to-Head Record
The head-to-head record suggests this is usually a fairly tight fixture, with the most recent meeting finishing 0-0 at Lazio. Lazio did beat Cremonese 3-2 in May 2023, but the earlier meeting in September 2022 ended in a 4-0 Lazio win, so they have had the stronger results overall. Even so, the latest draw shows Cremonese can make this awkward, particularly if they keep the game compact. That pattern fits a match where Lazio may have the edge, but not necessarily by a wide margin.

Lineups & Tactical Setup
Cremonese (4-4-2)
Predicted lineup: Emil Audero (Goalkeeper), Federico Baschirotto (Defender), Filippo Terracciano (Defender), Giuseppe Pezzella (Defender), Sebastiano Luperto (Defender), David Okereke (Midfielder), Romano Floriani Mussolini (Midfielder), Warren Bondo (Midfielder), Youssef Maleh (Midfielder), Federico Bonazzoli (Attacker), Martín Payero (Attacker)
Cremonese’s predicted 4-4-2 should give them a solid base, with the wide midfielders helping to protect the full-backs and keep Lazio from finding easy space. If David Okereke and Federico Bonazzoli can stay connected to the midfield line, Cremonese may be able to break quickly when possession turns over.
Lazio (4-3-3)
Predicted lineup: Edoardo Motta (Goalkeeper), Alessio Romagnoli (Defender), Luca Pellegrini (Defender), Manuel Lazzari (Defender), Oliver Provstgaard (Defender), Kenneth Taylor (Midfielder), Patric (Midfielder), Toma Bašić (Midfielder), Boulaye Dia (Attacker), TBC (Attacker), Tijjani Noslin (Attacker)
Lazio’s predicted 4-3-3 should allow them to stretch Cremonese across the pitch and create more room between the lines. With Kenneth Taylor and the other midfielders supporting the front three, they can look to control possession and feed Boulaye Dia in advanced areas.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
- Federico Bonazzoli vs Alessio Romagnoli: Bonazzoli will need to be sharp against a Lazio defence led by Alessio Romagnoli, especially if Cremonese are relying on limited chances.
- David Okereke vs Kenneth Taylor: David Okereke’s work in midfield will be important against Kenneth Taylor, who can help Lazio dictate the tempo.
- Federico Bonazzoli (Cremonese): Federico Bonazzoli is key because he has been a regular attacking option in Cremonese’s recent 4-4-2 setups and will be central to any chance of a home goal.
- Boulaye Dia (Lazio): Boulaye Dia is key because he is part of Lazio’s attacking core in the predicted 4-3-3 and offers a direct threat in the final third.
