The matchday 6 fixture between Inter and Cremonese is scheduled for October 4 at the San Siro stadium in Milan. Here’s our preview, prediction, odds, and statistics for the Inter vs Cremonese encounter.

Inter’s Current Form

Christian Chivu’s squad secured a 2-0 away victory against Cagliari in the previous round. This marked Inter’s third win of the current championship campaign and only their second clean sheet in the ongoing season. Notably, the team has scored at least twice in seven out of their last eight league matches. The Milanese club has accumulated nine points, placing them fifth in the league standings. It’s worth highlighting that Inter leads the current season in terms of goals scored, with a total of 13.

Match Prediction: Inter – Cremonese

Inter’s attacking prowess is undeniable – the team has netted 13 goals in five league rounds this season and also scored five times in two Champions League fixtures. Furthermore, in their last 44 home matches, Inter has failed to score only once. However, the club’s defense in their own box is not always reliable: in their nine most recent home league games, the Milanese side has kept just two clean sheets.

Cremonese is quite capable of troubling even such a formidable opponent. The newcomer has already scored at San Siro in the current championship, finding the net twice against AC Milan. Moreover, in their last 11 away encounters in the Italian top division, the team has left the field without scoring only three times, and in five of those instances, their players scored at least two goals. At the same time, Cremonese has managed to keep a clean sheet only once in their last 22 away matches.

I anticipate both teams to score in this match, and my prediction is: “Both Teams to Score – Yes” with odds of 2.12
