Juventus vs Cremonese Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Serie A 2025-26

The Old Lady will take on the Grey and Reds on matchday 20 of Serie A

After trashing Sassulo in their last league match, Juventus will host Cremonese at the iconic Allianz Stadium on Monday night. Luciano Spalletti’s side started thier new year very well and will hope to continue their good form. Since arriving in Turin, Spalletti has sprung plenty of surprises both in terms of setup and selection.

They are still six points behind Inter Milan, who are the current league leaders in the Serie A. In 19 matches so far, they have won 10, drawn six and lost three matches. Last time when they faced Cremonese, they did win by 1-2, but this time they will aim to win by a bigger margin for sure. Juve are favourites to win this fixture, but they can’t afford to take Cremonese lightly at all.

On the other hand, Cremonese started their season poorly, but now they are in a much better position; but surely, there is a big scope for improvement. In 19 games, they have won five, drawn seven and lost seven, with 22 points, they sit at 13th place in Serie A. They have been very inconsistent, and due to poor defence, they have dropped a lot of points so far. Cremonese have never defeated Juve, and on Monday, they will aim to beat the Italian giants for the first time.

Players to Watch

Manuel Locatelli (Juventus)

While Juventus have changed managers on more than one occasion over the last few seasons, one thing they have all agreed on is that Locatelli is a key figure and they need him at his best. The Italian international is someone comfortable playing as a single pivot and can also play with a double pivot.

He stands out due to his vision, good decision-making, and inspiring defensive work rate. He’s the guy that Juve players look towards whenever they are trying to get out of pressure. He doesn’t get into goal-scoring positions, and his focus is more on the defensive side.

Jamie Vardy (Cremonese)

The former Leicester City player Jamie Vardy is having a great time in Serie A so far. Despite being 38 years old, he is someone who can make a difference in his team’s results. The Cremonese fans are also very happy to have him in their team. Vardy no longer has the pace and agility which he used to have, but still, his goal-scoring instinct is top-notch. In 15 league matches so far, he has scored five goals and provided one assist.
