Cremonese
- SS Lazio are eighth in Serie A with 48 points after 34 games while Cremonese are 18th with 28 points from as many games.
- Marco Giampaolo has done a decent job since taking over as Cremonese coach in March 2026 and steered the club away from the Serie A relegation zone, but his side have taken just one point from their last two home games and have won only one of their last five matches.
- Cremonese have only won two of their 16 home games in Serie A 2025-2026.
- Giampaolo has made them play with more width and verticality since taking charge, shifting them to a more risk-taking 4-4-1-1 instead of the pragmatic version that was designed to sit deep and block the opposition’s best players.
Lazio
- Lazio are expected to beat Serie A’s least consistent side when they visit Cremonese on Monday, but it could be a close game.
- SS Lazio have won two of their last three away games.
- Lazio’s superior form and Sarri’s ability to keep his team structured and organised should see them edge a close contest.
- Lazio have won five of their 17 away league fixtures and conceded only 12 goals, so they should have enough defensive discipline to contain a Cremonese side that isn’t the most proficient in front of goal.
Key Players
Federico Bonazzoli has scored seven goals in 31 Serie A appearances for Cremonese this season, but Gustav Isaksen is Lazio’s top scorer with four in 27.
Betting Insights
Under 2.5 goals looks likely at 1.74 , while both teams to score - no is coming in at 1.87 and it has merit because neither team has much to recommend them in the forward area.
Prediction
Lazio’s defensive solidity in away games in 2025/26 makes Lazio favorites for the spoils on Monday.
