Prediction published on 08/10/2022, 09:59  by Daniel Ngulu in Serie A Predictions

It is a tight race at the top of the Italian Serie A and league leaders Napoli will want to stay at the summit when they travel to the Giovanni Zini Stadium to take on newly promoted Cremonese. Hosts Cremonese are finding it tough in the league and go into this game placed 19th with three points from eight matches. Napoli, meanwhile, are top on 20 points. Cremonese’s last sojourn in Serie A before this season was in 1996 and they are really struggling to cope. Going into this game, they are one of two sides yet to win in the league, and they have a very poor run defensively. In eight league matches, they’ve lost five. Twice in the last five matches, they’ve conceded three or more goals and they’ve failed to score in two of the five games. In five of their eight league games, both teams have managed to score. The last time they faced Napoli was in 1999, when both teams were playing in the Serie B, and the last time they beat Napoli was in 1994 in Serie A.

Napoli are in top form this season and they are definitely targeting silverware in Italy and Europe, as they are doing well both on domestic and continental fronts. Ahead of this game, the visitors are one of the two remaining unbeaten sides and playing one of the two winless sides will definitely place them as the favorites. Napoli have won each of their last seven matches across all competitions and in the 11 matches they’ve played so far, they haven’t lost any. Ahead of this game, they came from a goal down to thrash Ajax 6-1 away from home in the Champions League. That was the fourth straight time they scored more than a goal in a game and in the last seven they’ve failed to achieve that just once. They however have just two clean sheets in their last eight matches. Both teams have scored in six of Napoli’s last eight matches.
