Juventus vs Cremonese | Expected Lineup

Juventus head into their upcoming Serie A clash in strong form, extending their unbeaten run to six matches across all competitions (W5, D1).

The Bianconeri are now targeting another vital three points as they welcome bottom-half side Cremonese, who arrive in Turin struggling to regain momentum after a dip in recent performances.

Juventus building momentum at the right time

After being held to a 1-1 draw by Lecce at the Allianz Stadium, Juventus responded emphatically with a convincing 3-0 victory over Sassuolo on Tuesday.

That result marked their eighth win in the last ten matches in all competitions (D1, L1) and their fourth clean sheet in six outings, further reinforcing their push for UEFA Champions League qualification.

Luciano Spalletti’s side currently sit comfortably in the top four and remain one of just three Serie A teams yet to suffer a home defeat this season (W5, D4).

Juventus have also shown remarkable consistency against lower-ranked opposition, staying unbeaten in all ten league matches played so far against teams starting this round in the bottom half of the table (W6, D4).

Their defensive solidity has been particularly impressive at home, as they have not conceded in the opening 15 minutes of either half and are the only Serie A side yet to lose a second half on home soil this term.

Cremonese, meanwhile, are enduring a difficult spell, having failed to win any of their last five matches (D2, L3). Despite this run, the newly-promoted side still hold a nine-point buffer above the relegation zone.

Their most recent away defeat came in a narrow 1-0 loss to Fiorentina, extending their scoreless streak on the road to three consecutive matches.

Nevertheless, Davide Nicola’s men should not be underestimated. Two of their three league victories this season have come away from home against teams currently in the top eight, including notable wins over Bologna and AC Milan.

Historically, though, the odds favor Juventus, who have won all three head-to-head meetings this century, including a 2-1 success in November that marked the beginning of the Spalletti era.
