Cremonese will welcome AC Milan to the Stadio Giovanni Zini on Sunday for a crucial Serie A encounter, with the hosts looking to end their 12-game winless run.
The home team's struggle deepened with a 3-0 loss to AS Roma on Sunday, extending their winless run since a 2-0 success over US Lecce in early December.
Since that victory, the Grigiorossi have tumbled to 17th place heading into this round. Their home record offers little reassurance either, with just one win from eight league games on their own turf.
Meanwhile, Milan endured a frustrating 1-0 defeat to Parma last weekend, leaving them 10 points behind league leaders Inter Milan at the top of the table.
Despite that setback, the Rossoneri can take pride in their exceptional away form. They remain the only Serie A side yet to lose on the road this season.

Cremonese vs AC Milan prediction: A full-time draw will likely be the result
Key statistics
- Rafael Leao has scored eight goals this season for AC Milan.
- AC Milan are unbeaten in all of their league away games this season.
- Over 1.5 goals have been scored in three of their last five meetings.
Correct score prediction: Cremonese 0-2 AC Milan
AC Milan are in strong away form heading into this clash and we expect them to get a win against the hosts, who are struggling. We predict a 2-0 victory for Milan as they look to keep the pace at the top of the standings.
While Cremonese managed a shocking 1-2 victory at the San Siro earlier this season, the Rossoneri will have learnt their lesson and will approach this return fixture with far greater defensive discipline.
We anticipate that the attacking prowess of the away side will eventually break down a weary home defence that has been under constant pressure throughout the campaign.

Player to watch: Rafael Leao
Rafael Leao is one of the most influential players for the Rossoneri and he has consistently delivered match-winning performances throughout this campaign. The Portuguese forward has recorded eight goals and two assists this season, including the vital equaliser in the recent draw against Como.
His ability to beat defenders with pace and clinical finishing makes him the greatest threat to the Cremonese backline. We expect him to exploit the spaces on the left wing and lead his team to a vital three points in the title race.
