*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Cagliari are rock bottom of Serie A after five games of the new season, though the 10/11 favourites could restore some positivity at home to second-tier Cremonese.
Cremonese have stumbled upon some decent form in Serie B, however, they could find the step-up in quality tough to breach at the Unipol Domusi. The visitors have been priced as 10/3 underdogs as a consequence. You can check out more of our Italian football tips on our dedicated page.

Player to watch – Roberto Piccoli
Cagliari have been low on goals this season, though new loan signing Roberto Piccoli has been doing his best to drag the team’s numbers up.
Piccoli has been showing promise
Attacker Piccoli has scored three times for Cagliari since his temporary move to the club from Atalanta in the summer, and two of those efforts were plundered in the previous round of the Coppa Italia in a 3-1 triumph over Carrarese.
