Bitesize Prediction: Cremonese vs Cagliari – 08/01/26

Competition: Serie A

Market: Both teams to score – No

Odds: 19/20 @ BetUS

In what could prove to be a cagey Serie A showdown on Thursday evening, Cremonese will welcome Cagliari to Lombardy.

Starting with the hosts, while Cremonese might get the midweek fixtures underway holding a commanding nine-point buffer over the drop zone, the Serie A newcomers are in the midst of what has been a downbeat run on either side of opening the New Year. Getting 2026 underway with another toothless performance last weekend as they fell to a 1-0 loss at the hands of fellow strugglers Fiorentina, the Lombardy-based outfit have collected just a single point from any of their previous four consecutive Serie A appearances. Signing off 2025 with a routine 2-0 defeat at home against reigning Italian champions Napoli, Davide Nicola will also have a mounting headache over his side’s extended struggles in the final third. Including another 1-0 loss against Torino last month, Cremonese have failed to find the net in any of those four straight top-flight battles. It should also be noted, Thursday’s hosts have recorded just a sole victory in Lombardy since the end of August.

As for the visitors, getting the New Year underway with a 1-0 loss at home against title dreamers AC Milan last weekend, the Islanders have once again failed to find any kind of stability this season. With their sights simply focused on maintaining their Serie A status in 2026, Fabio Pisacane’s side have recorded just a pair of wins from any of their previous 15 consecutive appearances across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to September 23rd. Desperate to widen their buffer over the drop zone when they travel to Lombardy on Thursday evening, Cagliari will be excited by an eye-catching record against Cremonese. Landing a 1-0 victory when they last met La Cremo for a Copa Italia showdown back in September 2024, they have won all of their previous three meetings by a 1-0 scoreline. In what could prove to be a nail-biting Serie A affair in midweek, don’t be surprised to see chances come at a premium.
