Cremonese vs Atalanta Prediction 25 October 2025
📢 What will stand out in the 8th round Serie A clash between Cremonese and Atalanta? At the Giovanni Zini Stadium, a newly-promoted side, impressing with their consistency, will face one of Italy's strongest clubs, still striving to unlock their full potential. Atalanta remain the only unbeaten team in the league, but frequent draws have kept the Bergamo side from closing in on the table leaders. Meanwhile, Cremonese have shown they can pose a challenging game for more distinguished opponents, promising a tough evening for the visitors.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between Cremonese and Atalanta includes just 4 matches since 2006, with a clear advantage for the Bergamo side: 3 wins, 1 draw, and no victories for the "Gray-Reds."

Head-to-head statistics Cremonese - Atalanta
Cremonese Team Overview
⚪ Cremonese, freshly promoted from Serie B, are showcasing surprisingly mature and pragmatic football. While their style of play might not be the most entertaining, it certainly delivers results: just a single loss, and that to Inter (1-4) - quite a respectable achievement for a newcomer. With a steady accumulation of points, the "Gray and Reds" sit in 10th place with 10 points to their name.
🔴 In their last outing, Cremonese drew at home against Udinese (1-1), in one of the rare matches where they took the initiative, maintaining more possession. Moreover, the hosts appeared more threatening in terms of chances created, so the final draw can certainly be seen as points dropped.

Atalanta Team Overview
🔵 Atalanta remain the only Serie A team unbeaten in the first seven rounds. On paper, this seems impressive, but a closer look reveals a less rosy picture. The Bergamo side sit only eighth in the standings with 11 points, and the reason is clear-they often settle for draws in matches where they should be securing all three points.
⚫ A prime example came in the last round against Lazio: despite dominating the game (16 shots to 4), Atalanta failed to break down the defense of their opponents, who are gradually slipping to mid-table status due to a transfer ban (0-0). Even more questions arose from their Champions League clash against Slavia Prague-playing at home as clear favorites, they created chances worth an xG of 2.58, yet once again failed to convert any opportunities, ending in a goalless draw (0-0). The issue of finishing has become systemic, and it's something Atalanta urgently need to address if they are to continue competing for top spots both in the league and in European competitions.

Latest news
Cremonese
📣 Following their 1-1 draw with Udinese, Davide Nicola emphasized that his team deserved more: "Against Udinese, we were worthy of more than just a draw... We need to be more precise in the final third - we have the chances, but it's time we start converting them into goals."
🚫 Cremonese are still dealing with minor squad issues. Goalkeeper Emil Audero is recovering from a calf injury and is expected to return to the field by early November. Two players from the midfield and attacking line, Michele Collocolo and Faris Moumbagna, remain doubtful as both are dealing with muscle injuries.
Atalanta
📣 After a goalless draw with Slavia (0-0), Ivan Jurić pointed out that the team's issues lie not in creating chances, but in finishing them: "Over two matches, we had 15 clear opportunities and didn't score once." Despite this, the coach emphasized that their playing style remains on the right track: "We have the ideas and play good football; we're just missing the final touch." Jurić also acknowledged the opponent, highlighting the need for an emotional boost: "Slavia made us suffer at certain points, which means we need to become even more aggressive."
🚫 Atalanta continue to face defensive problems. Center-back Giorgio Scalvini will be sidelined for a few more weeks due to a muscle injury. Mitchell Bakker faces a longer recovery, being out until early March 2026 following a serious cruciate ligament injury.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Despite their cautious and defensive style, Cremonese manage to find scoring opportunities in almost every match. They've netted 8 goals in 7 rounds, surpassing Udinese's tally of 7, all while playing a minimalist game focused on discipline. Considering that the "Little Zebras" are currently struggling and prone to defensive errors, the hosts are well-positioned to capitalize on their opponent's lapses once again. Therefore, backing a Cremonese goal seems a reasonable prediction.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Cremonese rank among Italy's worst teams in terms of corners earned, averaging just 2.9 per match, with only Sassuolo posting a lower figure at 2.6. This is due to their tendency to play on the back foot and rarely sustain pressure in the attacking third. Facing Atalanta, who are likely to dominate possession and force Cremonese to defend for most of the game, opportunities to approach the penalty area will be even scarcer. Thus, betting on Cremonese under 3.5 corners appears to be the most logical choice.
Editor's Prediction
Atalanta are seen as the clear favorites by bookmakers for the upcoming clash, but we beg to differ. The "Queen of the Provinces" indeed play quality football, but in this sport, results matter most, and Atalanta have yet to deliver consistently, with just three wins across all competitions and numerous draws against non-elite teams. Cremonese, on the other hand, are capable of standing their ground against any opponent with their pragmatic defensive style that frustrates everyone without exception. At home, the "Gray and Reds" will certainly not go down without a fight. Our bet is on Cremonese to win with a +1.5 handicap. We dare to predict a final score of 1-1.No comments
