Sassuolo vs Cremonese Prediction & Tips
Sassuolo’s 1-0 defeat to Napoli last weekend extended their winless run to seven games (three draws and four defeats), with three consecutive league defeats. They start this matchday with a six-point cushion above the relegation zone, so they are not in immediate danger, although the teams below them are not giving them any respite. The Neroverdi could lose a historic record, as the last time they suffered four consecutive defeats in the top flight without scoring was in January 2014. Fabio Grosso’s side are also struggling at home, losing four of their last seven home games (one win, two draws) and failing to score in three of those defeats.
A dull goalless draw against Hellas Verona, who are fighting to avoid relegation, also kept Cremonese winless in their last seven league games (3 draws and 4 defeats), equalling their rivals on points. The negative trend is worrying for Davide Nicola’s team, as they have failed to score in six of those games, reflecting their growing concern about relegation. The Grigiorossi will face three teams currently occupying top-four positions in the next five matchdays after this game, so it is urgent that they return to winning ways and break their away goal drought, which now stands at four consecutive Serie A away games without scoring (one draw and three defeats).
