Sassuolo take on the visitors Cremonese in the round 25 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, February 6th at Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore (Reggio Emilia).
In the previous round, Sassuolo surprisingly beat Lecce away (1-0) and moved 10 points clear of the relegation zone. However, this does not change the fact that the team has looked weak this season. The match against Lecce was the first time in three games under Alessio Dionisi that the team managed to keep a clean sheet. In 24 league matches, Sassuolo has conceded 35 goals, 13 of which were at home. In both cases, on average, this is more than one goal per game. In the last five championship matches at home, the team managed to keep a clean sheet in only one. Can the hosts avoid conceding at least once to the motivated Cremonese? And why not, really?

Cremonese are more than motivated. In the previous round, they secured their first victory in the championship and finally left the last place in the table for the first time in a long time. After the victory over Roma, Cremonese players are in high spirits and must step up their game even more in the battle for survival. They are eight points away from safety, but there are still mathematical chances of avoiding relegation. The attack of Ballardini's team seems to be improving. They scored two goals against Roma and previously scored two away goals against Torino. We think Cremonese is capable of creating at least one clear chance in the match against Sassuolo.
Despite their sensational victory over Roma in the previous round, bookmakers are placing Cremonese as the underdogs in this match. It is hard to disagree with this, as Sassuolo are still the favorite. However, it is possible to believe in David Ballardini's team's ability to score a goal. The visitors have very little chance of avoiding relegation in Serie A, but theoretically, they still have a chance. They have nowhere to retreat, they must win. And without goals, there are no victories. Sassuolo cannot boast of an extremely reliable defense this season. Yes, the hosts will probably score more than the opponent and even win. But at least one goal will be conceded to their own net. Cremonese have become more attacking lately. And if they are going to be relegated from Serie A, they need to exit with a bang. Speaking generally about the match, we expect a lot of goals. We think this match will compensate for their absence in the previous encounter between the opponents in the reverse fixture. And at least one clear shot will be taken by the visitors.
Prediction for the match: Cremonese to score – yes.
