Inter take on the visitors Cremonese in the round 6 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, October 4th at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan).
Inter still seem to be recovering from the way last season ended. In the space of just a month, their growing talk of a “treble” collapsed into disappointment — the 2024 Serie A champions finished the campaign without a single trophy. They lost the Coppa Italia semi-final derby to Milan (after also being beaten by them in the Supercoppa earlier that winter), surrendered the top spot in Serie A to Napoli, and finally endured a humiliating 0-5 defeat to PSG in the Champions League final — Simone Inzaghi’s last match in charge. The club then placed their trust in Cristian Chivu, but under him came an early exit from the Club World Cup in the summer. In the new season, Inter have already suffered defeats to Udinese and Juventus, though they’ve bounced back with several victories. They beat Cagliari 2-0 in the previous Serie A round, and against Slavia Prague in the Champions League, they cruised to a comfortable 3-0 win. Inter’s attack, led by Lautaro Martínez, is starting to find rhythm again, while Sommer has delivered key saves in recent fixtures. Still, consistency remains an issue, as the team often struggles to maintain intensity over 90 minutes.

Cremonese can certainly be proud of their start to the season. The Grey-and-Reds have started making headlines again recently. They returned to Serie A in 2022 for the first time in 25 years but couldn’t survive that campaign. Now they’re back again after finishing only fourth in Serie B last season, but winning the promotion play-offs to return to the top flight. Usually, such newcomers struggle in the elite division, and the Grigiorossi were met with skepticism. Yet they surprised everyone by opening with a stunning 2-1 away win over Milan and a victory against Sassuolo (though they had earlier been knocked out of the Coppa Italia on penalties by Palermo after a goalless draw). They followed that with scoreless draws against Verona and Parma. In the most recent round against Como, they both scored and conceded, finishing 1-1. Cremonese have shown admirable defensive organization, conceding just three goals in their first five league games. Their pressing game under Ballardini has also improved, allowing them to compete even against more experienced opponents.
Inter have won seven of the last eight official meetings between the sides, including both Serie A encounters in the 2022/2023 season. Although the newcomers have been impressive, the Nerazzurri are regaining form. The bet is on a home win for Inter with a -1.5 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Inter to win with -1.5 handicap.
