Cremonese vs Como Prediction: Key Stats and Betting Tips

Cremonese face Como at Stadio Giovanni Zini in a high-stakes Serie A clash on 24 May 2026, with both sides arriving at the final round with very different pressures. The hosts sit 18th on 34 points after 37 matches, in the relegation zone and labelled “Relegation - Serie B”, while Como travel in comfort, fifth on 68 points and already in the “Promotion - Europa League (League phase)” bracket.

For Cremonese, survival hopes rest on turning a difficult season around at the last possible moment. They have scored just 31 league goals and conceded 53, underlining why they are fighting at the bottom. In contrast, Como have been one of Serie A’s stories of the campaign, with 61 goals scored and only 28 conceded across 37 games, combining attacking fluency with defensive control.

The head-to-head history, however, offers Cremonese a psychological lifeline. They are unbeaten in the last seven competitive meetings with Como, and that includes a 1-1 draw at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on 27 September 2025 in Serie A. With Serie A survival and European positioning on the line, this fixture carries real weight for bettors and fans alike.

• Cremonese are unbeaten in their last seven meetings with Como, including a 1-1 draw away in Serie A on 27 September 2025.

Cremonese vs Como — Tale of the Tape

• Position: 18 vs 5
• Points: 34 vs 68
• Goals For: 31 vs 61
• Goals Against: 53 vs 28
• Clean Sheets: 11 vs 19

The season record highlights the gulf between these two sides. Cremonese have won 8, drawn 10 and lost 19 of their 37 league fixtures, with a goal difference of -22. Their home record (3 wins, 7 draws, 8 defeats, 17 scored and 25 conceded) underlines how difficult they have found it to turn Zini into a fortress. Their recent league form string of “WWLLD” suggests some late fight, but it has not been enough to lift them clear of the drop zone yet.

Como, by contrast, have built a Europa League-level campaign on consistency. They have 19 wins, 11 draws and only 7 defeats, with a goal difference of +33. Away from home they have been excellent: 9 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses, scoring 26 and conceding only 13. Their league form “WWDWL” shows they remain a tough opponent even in the run-in, with a defence that has produced 19 clean sheets overall and an attack that regularly finds solutions.

Cremonese vs Como Key Matchups

F. Bonazzoli vs T. Douvikas

Federico Bonazzoli is Cremonese’s standout attacking threat. Across 34 Serie A appearances, 30 of them starts, he has scored 9 goals and added 1 assist in 2,439 minutes. He has taken 55 shots with 31 on target, and his passing contribution (821 total passes, 13 key passes, 84% accuracy) shows he is more than just a finisher. Bonazzoli’s physical presence is backed up by 242 duels contested and 125 won, and he draws fouls frequently (76), which could be important in a tight relegation decider.

For Como, Anastasios Douvikas leads the line with 13 goals and 1 assist in 37 appearances, 24 of them starts. He has 46 shots and 28 on target, and his movement is supported by 314 passes and 23 key passes at 78% accuracy. Douvikas is heavily involved in duels (234 total, 97 won) and draws 40 fouls, making him a constant nuisance for defenders. This matchup pits Cremonese’s main scorer against Como’s more prolific striker, and whichever forward is more clinical could tilt a low-scoring contest.

J. Vandeputte vs N. Paz

Jari Vandeputte is Cremonese’s creative hub. In 31 appearances (23 starts), he has provided 5 assists and 1 goal in 1,884 minutes. He has produced 53 key passes from 893 total passes at 77% accuracy, underlining his role as the primary chance creator. Defensively, he contributes with 37 tackles, 2 blocks and 18 interceptions, plus 166 duels (74 won), while drawing 25 fouls. His delivery and set-piece threat will be crucial against a well-organised Como back line.

On the other side, Nicolás Paz is one of Serie A’s standout all-round midfielders this season. Across 35 appearances and 33 starts, he has scored 12 goals and added 6 assists in 2,884 minutes. His attacking output is elite: 86 shots, 48 on target, 1,394 passes with 51 key passes at 82% accuracy. Defensively he is just as active, with 91 tackles, 3 blocks, 28 interceptions and 439 duels (230 won). Paz’s ability to dominate both phases makes him the key figure Cremonese must contain.

Cremonese vs Como Prediction

Stats suggest a clash between a struggling defence and one of the division’s most balanced outfits. Cremonese concede 1.4 goals per match on average and score just 0.8, while Como combine 1.6 scored with only 0.8 conceded. However, the head-to-head pattern and Cremonese’s recent “WWLLD” form hint they are capable of raising their level in this matchup, especially with survival at stake.

Prediction metrics lean towards Como avoiding defeat, with win-or-draw advice and 45% probabilities assigned to both away win and draw, versus only 10% for a home victory. The under 3.5 goals angle is also highlighted, aligning with Cremonese’s low-scoring profile and Como’s controlled defensive structure. Expect Cremonese to fight and the H2H trend to keep this close, but Como’s superior quality and organisation should see them emerge with at least a point.

Cremonese Possible Starting Lineup

E. Audero; F. Baschirotto, M. Bianchetti, S. Luperto, F. Ceccherini; G. Pezzella, M. Collocolo, A. Grassi, J. Vandeputte; F. Bonazzoli, D. Okereke.

Cremonese have largely favoured back-three and back-four systems, with 3-5-2 their most used shape. The presence of experienced defenders like F. Baschirotto, M. Bianchetti and S. Luperto should give structure in a must-not-lose game, while G. Pezzella’s work rate and J. Vandeputte’s creativity from midfield provide balance. In attack, F. Bonazzoli is the clear focal point, supported by mobile forwards such as D. Okereke or other attackers from a deep bench including M. Đurić, F. Moumbagna, A. Sanabria and A. Zerbin.

Como Possible Starting Lineup

J. Butez; Jacobo Ramón Naveros, Diego Carlos, M. Kempf, Alberto Moreno; M. Perrone, M. Caqueret; N. Paz; Jesús Rodríguez, Assane Diao; T. Douvikas.

Como have predominantly lined up in a 4-2-3-1, which suits their blend of technical midfielders and a strong central striker. At the back, Jacobo Ramón Naveros provides aerial dominance and passing range, while experienced defenders like Diego Carlos, M. Kempf and Alberto Moreno bring stability. In midfield, the double pivot of M. Perrone and M. Caqueret offers control and ball progression, with N. Paz operating as a high-impact playmaker. Wide support from Jesús Rodríguez and Assane Diao behind T. Douvikas gives Como multiple scoring outlets.
