Inter vs Cremonese Prediction 4 October 2025
📢 What can we expect from the clash between Inter and Cremonese in the second round of Serie A at the Giuseppe Meazza? These teams come from completely different worlds: a newcomer, surprisingly unbeaten, versus one of the main contenders for the Scudetto, slowly finding their form. For the "Gray-Reds," this will be a true test of resilience, as the level of their opponent is significantly higher than anything they've faced before.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between Inter and Cremonese in the 21st century includes only two matches, both occurring in the 2022/23 season. During that time, the Nerazzurri showcased their class superiority without much trouble, winning 3-1 at home and 2-1 away.
Head-to-head statistics Inter - Cremonese
Inter Milano Team Overview
❓ Is Inter Milan starting to regain their former glory? It's wise to approach this question with caution. The team had a shaky start to the season, barring a commanding victory over Torino (5-0). However, in their last two matches, they have showcased a high level of play across all statistical parameters.
🔵 Recently, the Nerazzurri steamrolled Slavia Prague in the Champions League, winning 3-0. The Czech side's attempts on Yann Sommer's goal could be counted on one hand, while the Italians created numerous dangerous opportunities-registering 21 shots, crafting 9 scoring chances, and posting an xG of 3.65.
⚫ In the last Serie A round, Inter also delivered a strong performance in their away match against Cagliari (2-0). Despite being on the road, the Milan side allowed virtually nothing at their own end (xG 3.95 against 0.48), and with such statistics, the final scoreline of 2-0 seems modest for the visitors. After five rounds, the Milan club sits in fifth place and clearly aims to climb to the top soon.

Cremonese Team Overview
⚪ Cremonese have rightfully emerged as the biggest surprise of the season's start. Just a month and a half ago, they were tipped as leading candidates for relegation, yet the "grey-reds" continue to defy expectations: after five rounds, they remain unbeaten in the league. Alongside Cremonese, only Atalanta and Juventus can boast such a streak-an impressive company for a newcomer to the top flight. The club currently sits seventh in the standings with 9 points.
🔴 However, there is a sense that the team is playing above their true capabilities. In nearly every match, Cremonese have trailed their opponents in key statistical metrics but have managed to avoid defeat. In the last round, for instance, they managed to snatch a point on the road against an ambitious Como (1-1), who are aiming for European competition. The visitors spent most of the game chasing, lagging in possession, shots, and xG (0.42 compared to 1.35), yet they secured a draw thanks to organized defense and some luck in the final third.

Latest news
Inter Milano
📣 After Inter's 3-0 victory over Slavia, head coach Cristian Chivu highlighted the team's progress: "We approached the match seriously and responsibly, which the players demonstrated through their attitude and behavior. Losing is tough, and winning often brings too many emotions; it's important to maintain balance... I'm not disappointed with what they're doing-I understand perfection doesn't exist-but I see genuine commitment, even in adapting to things they're not used to, and that makes me proud of what this team aspires to become."
🚫 Inter face just one personnel issue, but it's a significant one: Marcus Thuram is sidelined with a thigh injury and won't return until late October. His absence diminishes the sharpness of their attacking line.
Cremonese
📣 Cremonese head coach Davide Nicola expressed his satisfaction with his team's performance in a challenging away match against Como (1-1): "I'm pleased with the way the guys played. Coming here and putting on such a display wasn't easy. I liked our first half until we conceded the goal-it seemed like we were showing too much respect to our opponents. We need to be more organized and bolder without the ball. The second half was enjoyable for me: I saw a team with self-confidence. Cremonese were excellent both in attack and defense."
🚫 At least three Cremonese players will miss the upcoming fixture. First-choice goalkeeper Emil Audero is sidelined with a leg injury until the end of October. Michele Collocolo and Faris Mumbanga are also out, both recovering from muscle injuries, and are expected to return by mid-October.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Inter's recent home matches have not been goal-fests, with under 3.5 goals occurring in 6 of their last 7 games at home. Cremonese, given the disparity in class, is likely to adopt a highly defensive approach, as they typically do, especially on the road. This cautious style has allowed them to remain among the league's best defensively, conceding only 4 goals-fewer than anyone except Milan and Roma. All these factors suggest a high probability of a low-scoring encounter.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Cremonese has struggled to create scoring opportunities at the start of the season, ranking second to last in the league with an average of 2.8 corners per match after five rounds. Against a formidable Inter side, this scenario is unlikely to change. The visitors are expected to spend most of the match defending and rarely venturing into the opponent's half, making it improbable for them to earn many corners. Cremonese under 3.5 corners seems a logical outcome.
Editorial Prediction
Inter step into this match as the clear favorites, and it's hard to argue with the bookmakers on this one - the gap in quality between the teams is significant. However, it would be a mistake to completely write off Cremonese. Davide Nicola's squad has been a pleasant surprise at the start of the season: with a relatively modest lineup, they have managed to secure points against Milan (2-1) and Como (1-1), while remaining unbeaten in the league. Yes, luck has played a part in some of their games, but earning good fortune requires skill as well. Inter have looked formidable in their recent matches, confidently defeating Slavia (3-0) and Cagliari (2-0). However, they have previously shown a tendency to drop off sharply after big wins, as seen with their two consecutive losses following a victory over Torino. In this context, betting on Cremonese with a +2.5 handicap appears to be a sensible choice. We'll take a risk and predict a final score of 2-1.No comments
