Cremonese vs Torino Predictions

• Cremonese have lost both of their Serie A games this season, as well as four of their last five competitive matches.
• Torino have gone unbeaten through their last six away games, winning four.
• Cremonese have faced 55 shots in their opening two fixtures, while only three Serie A sides have created more expected goals (xG) thus far than Torino.

Cremonese’s home return could fall flat

Cremonese have been on the road for their first two matches since winning promotion to Serie A, but are set to return to home soil after renovations at the Giovanni Zini Stadium were completed. While the hosts have started the campaign with back-to-back defeats, Torino have four points from their first two games of the season, and will approach their trip to Lombardy with confidence.

Indeed, Torino held out for an impressive draw against Lazio last time out, having won at Monza on the opening day. While Ivan Juric was unimpressed with Il Toro’s summer business, they’ve impressed thus far, creating the fourth-best expected goals (3.5 xG) tally in Serie A. Meanwhile, they’ve gone unbeaten through their last six competitive away games, winning four of those.

Cremonese have been unlucky with the fixture list so far, losing to Fiorentina and Roma, while a trip to Inter Milan is coming up next week. However, Massimiliano Alvini’s team have conceded 55 shots across their first two games, and their defeats follow on from a below-par end to last term; Cremonese have now lost four of their last five matches, and may struggle to test a strong visiting defence after averaging 38 per cent possession in their first two games of the season.

Il Toro set to impress

With Cremonese still adapting to the rigours of Serie A and Torino boasting the fifth-best defensive record in the Italian top flight last term, backing Il Toro for an away win looks a prudent play.

Meanwhile, a 1-0 win for Torino looks like a decent correct score prediction for Saturday’s contest.
