Cremonese vs Roma Prediction 23 November 2025
📢 What surprises might the 12th round of the Italian Championship bring in the clash between Cremonese and Roma? At the Giovanni Zini Stadium, teams of different calibers will face off, yet it would be unwise to underestimate the hosts. This season, Cremonese have already managed to unsettle several favorites, and they play with grit and determination on home turf. Roma will need to exert significant effort on the field if they plan to take all 3 points back home.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between Cremonese and Roma in the 21st century includes just four matches, with the statistics perfectly balanced: two wins for each side. Their most recent clash was in January 2024 during the Round of 16 of the Coppa Italia. Cremonese started strong, taking the lead in the first half, but couldn't hold on to their advantage. Roma showcased their class, snatching a 2-1 victory by scoring both goals late in the match.
Head-to-head statistics Cremonese - Roma

Cremonese Team Overview
⚪ Cremonese boast one of the most modest squads in Serie A, yet this hasn't stopped them from making a confident start-losing just once in their first nine matches. However, recent games haven't gone their way, with two consecutive defeats slightly denting their momentum and confidence. Despite this, their position in the table remains stable-the "Gray and Reds" sit in 11th place with 14 points, which is quite respectable for a newcomer.
🔴 Before the international break, Cremonese faced another top-flight newcomer-Pisa. Given the early successes of Davide Nicola's side, they were considered favorites for the clash. However, reality proved different: a 0-1 defeat, and the result was fair based on the performance. Despite having 62% possession, Cremonese were toothless in attack, while Pisa posed a much greater threat to their opponent's goal.

Roma Team Overview
🔴 Roma continue to maintain high standards, solidifying their status as a strong contender for a top-four finish. Although they hit a rough patch in October, suffering three defeats in four matches, they quickly bounced back to their usual form. After 11 rounds, the "Giallorossi" sit in second place with 24 points, trailing leaders Inter only on goal difference.
🟡 Before the international break, Gian Piero Gasperini's side confidently dispatched Udinese with a 2-0 victory-against a team that has been quite impressive this season. While the match itself was fairly balanced, Roma's class shone through, securing three points with solid defense, four crucial saves from Mile Svilar, and clinical finishing. If they maintain this level of performance, they could very well enter the title race.

Latest news
Cremonese
📣 Cremonese head coach Davide Nicola, following their narrow defeat to Pisa (0-1), emphasized that the team deserved more: "It's frustrating to lose like this. We played well but couldn't find the net, and conceded at a time when we were looking our best. I believe we at least deserved a draw." Commenting on his substitution decisions, the coach noted: "We were performing well, so there was no reason to change things at that moment. The plan was always to replace those who were running out of energy." Nicola also added that the team must adapt to different circumstances: "We have players with diverse characteristics. We need to learn to find different solutions in each situation."
🚫 Several Cremonese players might miss the upcoming match. Mikael Faye is still recovering from a thigh injury and won't return to the field before early December. The participation of Alberto Grassi and Alessio Zerbin is uncertain as both are dealing with physical ailments. Michele Collocolo and Faris Mumbanya are also in doubt due to muscle injuries.
Roma
📣 Roma's head coach Gian Piero Gasperini expressed pride in the team's performance and the atmosphere surrounding the squad following their convincing 2-0 victory over Udinese: "People have the right to dream - we head into the break sitting at the top of the table. It's a source of pride and immense joy for our fans. We are thrilled to see their emotions. This enthusiasm is contagious - we feel it and embrace it wholeheartedly." When asked about the fight for the Scudetto, Gasperini emphasized that the team is focused solely on their game: "Do we talk about the Scudetto in the locker room? No, we just go into each match with the desire to give our best. The league table is very tight, and we have nine matches in a month ahead. I want the team to experience more evenings like this." The coach also praised his players for their dominance in a challenging match: "It wasn't an easy game - Udinese are a physically strong opponent... But we controlled the match entirely, which is particularly pleasing because I understand how difficult that was."
🚫 Roma are facing as many personnel issues as Cremonese. Edoardo Bove remains out due to heart issues. Artem Dovbyk is sidelined until mid-December with a thigh injury. Leon Bailey and Paulo Dybala continue their recovery from muscle and thigh injuries, with an expected return at the start of December. Angelino's participation is doubtful due to illness.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
While Gian Piero Gasperini's teams are often associated with vibrant and high-scoring football, Roma under his guidance have taken a different approach. The "Giallorossi" focus on solidity: over 11 matches, they've conceded just 5 goals - the best record in Serie A. Cremonese, on the other hand, are experiencing a slight dip in their attacking form, making it extremely challenging to breach such a well-organized defense. Our prediction is that Cremonese will not score.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Roma are among the leaders not only in points but also in corner kicks earned. The team operates actively on the wings, averaging 5.8 corners per match - the fourth-best in Serie A. In contrast, Cremonese sit at the bottom of this statistical category, managing only about 2.9 corners per game. Given this disparity, the most logical choice is to back Roma to win the corner count.
Editorial Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Roma are the clear favorites in this upcoming clash, and it's hard to argue with that assessment. While Cremonese have been impressive in their season opener, their recent performances have dipped, suffering two consecutive defeats. The "Giallorossi" are in excellent form and are unlikely to drop points against the newly promoted side, especially given their pursuit of top positions and the inconsistency of their direct rivals for a top-four finish. In this context, betting on a Roma victory seems the most logical choice. We anticipate a final score of 0-1 on the scoreboard.
