Cremonese vs Genoa Prediction 15 February 2026
📢 How will the clash between Cremonese and Genoa conclude in the 25th round of Serie A? While it might not be the marquee matchup of the week, its importance for both sides cannot be overstated. The teams are locked in a fierce battle to retain their spots in the top flight, sharing the same number of points and sitting in 16th and 15th place, respectively. The stakes are incredibly high: neither side can afford to lose to a direct rival, so the encounter at Stadio Giovanni Zini promises to be hard-fought.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between Cremonese and Genoa in the 21st century is limited to just one official match-the first-round clash of the current season. In that encounter, the "Gray and Reds" were slightly more clinical in the final third, securing a 2-0 away victory. Despite the scoreline, the match itself didn't reflect a dominant advantage for either side.
Head-to-head statistics Cremonese - Genoa
Cremonese Team Overview
⚪ Cremonese from the first part of the season and the current Cremonese are essentially two different teams. Over the summer and early autumn, the "grey-reds" surprised many by consistently picking up points and rarely losing, despite not having the most star-studded lineup. However, the team is now facing significant challenges. Their winless streak has stretched to ten matches, causing them to drop from the upper half of the table to 16th place, with their cushion above the relegation zone reduced to just six points.
🔴 In their last outing, Cremonese fell to Atalanta (1-2). While the scoreline suggests a narrow defeat, Atalanta's dominance was clear throughout the match. The visitors could have secured a more decisive victory; Atalanta's third goal was ruled out for offside in the 90+1 minute, and shortly after, the "grey-reds" managed to score a consolation goal that softened the blow but did not change the overall narrative of the game.
Match Results: Cremonese
Genoa Team Overview
🔴 Although Genoa and Cremonese both have 23 points and find themselves in similar standings, the "Grifone" have more reasons for optimism. Since the start of 2026, the team has played seven matches, failing to secure points in only two of them. Both losses were particularly heartbreaking, ending in dramatic fashion.
🔵 In the last round, Genoa came agonizingly close at home against Napoli (2-3), conceding a decisive penalty in the 90+5th minute. The team performed admirably and could have easily earned a draw. A nearly identical scenario unfolded in their match against Lazio (2-3) in the previous round, where another last-second penalty in the 90+10th minute sealed their fate. Without these incidents, the team might currently have two more points and feel significantly more secure in the standings.

Latest news
Cremonese
📣 Following the 1-2 defeat to Atalanta, head coach Davide Nicola highlighted the team's lack of composure: "Perhaps we need to be less anxious; we conceded two preventable goals and need more boldness and calmness." On the prospects of fighting for survival: "Playing like we did in the second half, we can compete to stay in the league... The newcomers are gradually adapting, but we need to be effective now."
🚫 The "Grey-Reds" are facing significant personnel issues. The participation of three players is in doubt: Jari Vandeputte is dealing with physical discomfort, Matteo Bianchetti is recovering from a muscle injury, and Mikael Faye is recovering from a head injury. Michele Collocolo is unavailable due to a muscle injury, with no set return date. Warren Bondo is expected back by the end of February following a thigh injury.
Genoa
📣 Following the 2-3 defeat to Napoli, head coach Daniele De Rossi criticized the use of VAR: "The football I was used to was different. VAR is starting to replace referees when it should only be a tool for clarity. This is a dangerous direction, and I don't like it." On the match itself: "The team played smart and aggressive football, I liked our performance, but losing in this way is tough... With a bit more luck, we could have had 5-6 more points."
🚫 The "Griffins" have a relatively calm injury situation. Backup goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist, recovering from a broken finger, and Tommaso Baldanzi (muscle injury) are expected to return by the end of February.
⚽️ Goal Predictions
Under De Rossi's leadership, Genoa's matches have been eventful and high-scoring affairs. The last three games involving the "Griffins" all ended with a 3-2 scoreline - two losses and one win. Notably, the over 1.5 goals bet has hit in 7 of Genoa's last 8 Serie A matches, making this our chosen option.
🚩 Corner Predictions
When it comes to corners, Cremonese and Genoa sit at the bottom of the Serie A table. The "Grey-Reds" average just 3.2 corners per match (20th in the league), while the "Griffins" manage 3.4 (18th position). With such modest figures, expecting a high total for corners seems unlikely, so a bet on under 9.5 corners appears to be the most logical choice.
Editor's Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Genoa are slight favorites for this clash, even on the road, and there's a rationale behind it. Cremonese currently appear to be one of the weakest teams in the league in terms of gameplay: the "Gray and Reds" not only struggle to secure points but also face significant issues in attack-failing to score in eight of their last ten matches. The "Griffins," on the other hand, are in much better shape and under De Rossi, they avoid defeats against teams at their level. This represents a great opportunity for the visitors to widen the gap from the relegation zone. We are backing a Genoa win with a (0) handicap, anticipating a scoreline of 0-2 on the board.No comments
