Cremonese (home)
- The newly promoted hosts brought Nicola in to take charge in July 2025 and he has done a good job to keep them afloat to this point, but they have struggled for wins in their last five games (D4, L1), which has seen them drop to 10th in the table.
- Their pragmatic style is evident from their shape - a 3-5-2 or 5-3-2 depending on whether they are defending or attacking - which involves a deep defensive block, a narrow shape, disciplined defending and quick vertical play when in possession, as well as the odd set piece goal. Our Cremonese vs Atalanta Bergamo betting tips highlight the importance of these tactical nuances.
Atalanta (away)
- Juric took over at the Bergamo club in June 2025 and has already made his mark on the team, instilling his aggressive playing style on his players while still maintaining the club’s signature three-at-the-back set-up.
- The visitors are currently one place above Cremonese in the Serie A table, with 11 points from their first seven games, and will be tough opponents on Saturday.
- Atalanta have not lost in five (W2, D3) and have also not lost on the road in Serie A, where they have won one and drawn two of their previous three matches, making the Cremonese vs Atalanta Bergamo betting tips particularly relevant for this encounter.
Head-to-Head
This Cremonese vs Atalanta Bergamo prediction takes into account their last Serie A meeting two years ago, which ended in a 3-1 defeat for Cremonese.
Key Players
- Federico Baschirotto leads the way for Cremonese in Serie A with two goals from seven appearances, but he also provides a big target in the air for his side to win balls in the penalty box.
- Jari Vandeputte has been the creative engine of Cremonese’s attack, providing three assists in Serie A so far, while Charles De Ketelaere leads the scoring charts for Atalanta with two from five.
Betting Insights
- Atalanta should win this game - their momentum is greater and they have superior attacking depth - and I’m backing them to do so as the 1.6 favorites.
- Cremonese are a long shot at 5.2, but the draw at 4.0 is also a possibility as the last two of Atalanta’s five unbeaten games have ended in ties.
- Under 2.5 goals at 2.0 could also be a value bet given both teams’ defensive form.
Prediction
I’m going for Atalanta’s experience and quality to see them through in a cagey game, but with both teams looking good defensively, Under 2.5 goals at 2.0 could also be a value bet.
