Preview: US Cremonese vs AC Milan Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Serie A 2025-26
Can Milan defeat the Cremona outfit after 30 years?
Matchweek 27 of the Serie A takes us to the Stadio Giovanni Zini in Cremona, where the home team, Cremonese, are set to lock horns against AC Milan.
The home team are languishing near the relegation zone, and anything other than a win in the next game could prove fatal to their survival hopes. The Lombardy outfit have failed to clinch even a solitary win in their last five outings. They are led by Italian gaffer Davide Nicola, who has previously led Cagliari and Empoli.
AC Milan are now 10 points behind table toppers Inter Milan in the title race. They have just won two games in their last five fixtures and are coming after a defeat to Parma. Massimiliano Allegri will need to help his side get back to winning ways as every point counts here.
Kick-off:
- Location: Cremona, Italy
- Stadium: Stadio Giovanni Zini
- Date: Sunday, March 1
- Kick-off Time: 5:00 p.m. IST
- Referee: TBD
- VAR: In use

Sebastiano Luperto (US Cremonese)
The Italian centre back from Lecce has won the Coppa Italia with Napoli in 2020 and was part of the Empoli squad that won the Serie B in 2018.
