Atalanta vs Cremonese Prediction 9 February 2026
📢 What can we expect from the clash between Atalanta and Cremonese in the 24th round of Serie A? The "Grigiorossi" have been struggling recently, failing to secure a win in their last nine matches. Atalanta, after an impressive run where the Bergamo side barely dropped points, have noticeably slowed down. Under these circumstances, the encounter at Gewiss Stadium promises to be far more intriguing and intense than it might initially appear.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between Atalanta and Cremonese consists of just five matches in recent years, with Atalanta formally holding the upper hand, having secured three wins while the other two encounters ended in draws. However, in the first round of the current season, Atalanta couldn't defeat Cremonese, salvaging a 1-1 draw only in the 84th minute.
Head-to-head statistics Atalanta - Cremonese
Atalanta Team Overview
🔵 From late November to mid-January, Atalanta went on an impressive run, during which they rarely faltered. However, recently their results have started to resemble the period under Ivan Juric, when victories were a rare occurrence. In their last six matches across all competitions, the "Queen of the Provincials" managed only two wins. Despite this, they remain seventh in the league standings, trailing the top six by five points.
⚫ Last weekend, Atalanta narrowly avoided defeat in an away match against Como, which ended in a goalless draw (0-0). The hosts generated an astounding 4.56 xG and should have won by a large margin. Yes, Atalanta were down to ten men from the eighth minute, but even in a 10 vs. 11 format, they looked extremely weak. The sole savior was Marco Carnesecchi, who made nine saves and stopped a penalty late in the match, allowing them to escape with a point. Just a few days later, Atalanta thrashed Juventus 3-0 and advanced to the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia-a result that should significantly boost their confidence.

Cremonese Team Overview
⚪ Cremonese have been unable to taste victory for two months now. Their last triumph came on December 7, when they defeated Lecce 2-0. Since then, the "Gray and Reds" have played nine more matches, drawing three times and suffering six defeats. Naturally, such results have impacted their league standing: after 23 rounds, the club has slipped to 15th place, with their cushion above the relegation zone reduced to just six points.
🔴 Last weekend, Cremonese failed to put up a fight on their home turf against Inter Milan, losing 0-2. The suspense in the match was practically over by the first half, with both goals scored by the Milan side by the 31st minute. Even when trailing, the hosts couldn't find their rhythm in attack, turning the second half into a mere formality.

Latest news
Atalanta
📣 Following their 3-0 victory over Juventus, Atalanta's head coach Raffaele Palladino highlighted the team's bravery and the evening's atmosphere: "At halftime, with the score at 1-0, I asked the guys if they wanted to sit back, but they confidently replied that they wanted to press Juventus in their own half. That's a very strong signal... It was a magical night-we were truly carried by the atmosphere of this magnificent stadium. We were ruthless in key moments of the match, although, to be fair, Juventus played a great game as well."
🚫 Atalanta face minimal squad issues, solely due to disciplinary actions. Onest Ahanor will miss the match after receiving a red card in the last round, and Marten de Roon is sidelined due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
Cremonese
📣 Following their 2-0 defeat to Inter, Cremonese's head coach Davide Nicola highlighted his team's positive response: "The answers I wanted to see were there. The young players stepped up and showed the mentality I always seek in matches against top opponents... I also appreciated Audero's character - despite being shaken by an explosion, he wanted to stay on the pitch. Some things seem outdated: I hope those in charge will work on improving the sporting culture."
🚫 The "Gray-Reds" face more serious challenges. The participation of three players is in doubt: Antonio Sanabria and Martin Payero are recovering from muscle injuries, while Yari Vandeputte is dealing with physical discomfort. Michele Collocolo is also sidelined with a muscle injury, with no clear timeline for his return. Warren Bondo is expected to recover by mid-February from a thigh injury.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Currently, Cremonese's attack is struggling, having managed to score in just one of their last nine matches. They consistently face serious challenges in creating and converting opportunities. Their last away goal was scored on December 1, when Cremonese surprisingly defeated Bologna 3-1. Given this track record, betting on Cremonese not to score again appears to be a logical choice.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Atalanta's matches reliably feature 9 corners: the over 8.5 corners bet has hit in 16 of their last 17 home Serie A games. It's also worth noting the first-round match statistics, where the teams combined for 12 corners, suggesting a strong chance for this bet to succeed once more.
Editorial Prediction
According to bookmakers, Atalanta are clear favorites in the upcoming clash, and it's hard to argue with that right now. Cremonese have been looking lackluster recently, struggling against stronger opponents with no chance: a 2-0 home loss to Napoli, a crushing 5-0 away defeat to Juventus, and a 2-0 home setback against Inter. Meanwhile, the "Queen of the Provincials" confidently capitalizes on home advantage: in their last ten home matches across all competitions, the Bergamo side have secured eight victories, most by a margin of two goals or more. Given the difference in class, a bet on Atalanta to win with a -1.5 handicap seems a reasonable choice here. We expect to see a 2-0 scoreline on the board.
