It is quite surprising to see Cremonese’s position in 18th place even though they have not managed to win in the first 15 weeks – seven draws and eight defeats. Even though according to historical records, three teams that have experienced similar conditions – without a win in their first 15 league matches – ended the season at the bottom of the standings and were relegated.
Therefore coach Massimiliano Alvini must arrange the best strategy so that his team does not fall back into Serie B. The success of forcing last season’s league champions AC Milan to share points should be a valuable experience for Cremonese ahead of hosting Juventus.
Indeed, facing a giant club like Juventus in the midst of a struggle to get out of the relegation zone is not an ideal condition. Moreover, The Grigiorossi are six points behind Spezia, which is right above it.
It should be remembered that Juventus arrived at the Giovanni Zini Stadium this time with six consecutive wins in Serie A. The Bianconeri have never failed to get all three points against their opponents in the domestic league since mid-October 2022.
Juventus have indeed started this season with less than optimal away form, collecting only two points in their first four visits. But after that, Juventus have never failed to bring home full points in the last three away matches.
Nonetheless, The Old Lady’s attack line seems less productive when playing at the opponent’s base – scoring only one goal in the last three visits. Even in seven league visits this season, Juventus have never scored more than one goal against their opponents.
This needs to be watched out for considering that Cremonese managed to form a solid defensive line so that Milan was unable to rip apart the hosts’ goal when they visited shortly before the World Cup break. Even in the last three home games – when they hosted Sampdoria, Udinese and AC Milan – Cremonese’s goal was only torn apart once.
