Juventus vs Cremonese

Juventus

<p>Juventus sit 5th in the Serie A standings with 36 points and remain firmly in the hunt for Champions League qualification. Recent form has been encouraging, with four wins recorded in their last six league matches, highlighting a growing sense of consistency.</p> <p>The Allianz Stadium has been a fortress this season, as Juventus are unbeaten in their last 13 home Serie A games. That home dominance is part of a much larger trend, with the Bianconeri avoiding defeat in 50 of their last 57 league matches overall, underlining their ability to grind out results even when performances are not at their best.</p> <p>Against Cremonese, Juventus also hold a clear psychological edge. They are on a run of three consecutive Serie A victories over their upcoming opponents, and their control in these encounters has often been built on defensive solidity combined with clinical finishing at key moments.</p> <p>With momentum on their side and home advantage in play, Juventus will expect to dictate the tempo and territory from the opening stages. Following a midweek 3-0 win over Sassuolo, the Old Lady will be seeking back-to-back victories [WWWDW]. A 3—4—2—1 formation with Lois Openda in attack is expected against La Cremo.</p>

Cremonese

<p>Cremonese [LDLLD] travel to Turin, sitting 13th in the table with 22 points. Their season has been marked by inconsistency, and away from home they have struggled to make a meaningful impact.</p> <p>They have suffered three defeats in their last six away league fixtures and have managed just one win in their last six Serie A matches overall.</p> <p>Attacking output has been a particular concern on the road, with Cremonese enduring a goalless streak across their last three away league games and averaging just 0.90 goals per match away from home this season.</p> <p>Interestingly, Cremonese’s recent away matches have been relatively tight affairs. Each of their last three away Serie A games has finished with under 2.5 goals, suggesting a cautious approach focused on defensive organisation.</p> <p>While this may help keep the scoreline respectable, it also highlights their difficulty in creating and converting chances against stronger opposition.</p> <p>From a tactical perspective, Juventus are likely to control possession and apply sustained pressure, probing for openings against a Cremonese side expected to sit deep and defend in numbers.</p> <p>Putting an end to a five-game winless run following the midweek 2-2 draw with Cagliari will be one of the objectives of this Monday night's clash.</p> <p>A 3—5—2 formation with Federico Bonazzoli and Jamie Vardy in attack may be seen.</p>
