Cremonese vs Torino: FW Predictions
Cremonese put in a valiant effort against Roma last time out but ended up losing their second Serie A clash of the campaign and are still searching for their first positive result. Visiting Torino have made a promising start to the season, picking up 4pts from their opening two fixtures, and head into this match as the bookmaker's favourite to win.
Draw
Despite Torino being the bookies' choice to secure all 3pts this weekend, we're backing Saturday's clash to end all square. Cremonese have narrowly lost their opening two matches against better teams than Torino and came close to taking a point from their trip to Roma last time out. Torino narrowly beat newly-promoted Monza in their first game, then played out a goalless draw at home to Lazio and their last meeting with Cremonese ended 0-0 in the Coppa Italia, so you can see why we're predicting a stalemate in this game.
Under 2.5 Goals
There is a good chance that this match will be low-scoring as two of the last three competitive meetings between Cremonese and Torino have produced under 2.5 goals. Cremonese's last game against Roma only produced one goal and three of Torino's last five fixtures have witnessed fewer than three goals scored, adding further weight to our prediction.

Can Cremonese get their first points on the board this weekend?
Cremonese were never expected to pick up any points when they made the trip to Jose Mourinho's Roma. The visitors gave a really good account of themselves, defending manfully and frustrating Roma on every occasion. The first half ended goalless and Cremonese started the second forty-five well once again. However, in the 65th-minute Roma's Chris Smalling scored to break the deadlock and it was always going to be tough for the visitors to get back onto level terms. Cremonese gave it their best shot and came close to equalising late on but Mourinho's men held firm to secure a narrow 1-0 victory.
Cremonese Predicted Lineup – Radu, Chiricheș, Lochoshvili, Valeri, Aiwu, Pickel, Ghiglione, Ascacíbar, Dessers, Okereke & Zanimacchia
Torino and Lazio were looking to build on winning starts to the new season and both could claim they did as this game ended in a draw. Both teams had their chances to score but this was a day where both defences would come out on top as the scoreline finished goalless.
Torino Predicted Lineup – Milinković-Savić, Rodríguez, Djidji, Aina, Buongiorno, Singo, Linetty, Radonjić, Vlašić, Ricci & Sanabria
