The matchday 24 Serie A clash between Atalanta vs Cremonese will take place on 9 February at the New Balance Arena in Bergamo. Atalanta vs Cremonese: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Atalanta
The team shared the points away to Como last round (0:0). Atalanta’s unbeaten run in the league has now reached six matches (4 wins, 2 draws), and in five games during this spell Raffaele Palladino’s side kept a clean sheet. It is worth noting that across the rest of the season Atalanta have recorded only four clean sheets. Meanwhile, the team have failed to score only for the fifth time in the current campaign. In the standings, Atalanta sit seventh, five points adrift of the European places.
- No more than two goals were scored in 7 of the last 8 Atalanta games in the Serie A.
- On home soil, the team have won 5 of their previous 6 league matches (1 defeat).
- In their last 6 home matches in this competition, the club have not conceded more than one goal.
Potential Atalanta Lineup (3-4-3)*
Marco Carnesecchi – Berat Djimsiti, Giorgio Scalvini, Honest Ahanor – Nicola Zalewski, Lorenzo Bernasconi, Marten de Roon, Davide Zappacosta – Charles De Ketelaere, Gianluca Scamacca, Ederson.
Midfielder Marten de Roon and defender Honest Ahanor are suspended.
Cremonese
Last round’s defeat to Inter (0:2) was the fifth loss in seven league matches for Davide Nicola’s men (2 draws). Even more worrying is the fact the team have managed to score in just one game during that period. Overall, Cremonese have gone 11 matches without scoring, with only Parma (12) and Lecce (13) posting a worse figure. Despite the poor results, the club remain above the relegation zone, with a six-point cushion.
- Cremonese conceded first in 6 of their previous 7 league matches.
- Away from home, the team are winless in five Serie A matches (1 draw, 4 defeats).
- In 6 of their last 7 away games in this competition, the club failed to score.
Potential Cremonese Lineup (3-5-2)*
Emil Audero – Giuseppe Pezzella, Federico Baschirotto, Federico Ceccherini – Filippo Terracciano, Youssef Maleh, Alessio Zerbin, Alberto Grassi, Francesco Folino – Jamie Vardy, Federico Bonazzoli.
Midfielders Michele Collocolo, Warren Bondo and defender Michael Fay are injured.

Atalanta vs Cremonese: Match Prediction
The hosts took points last round with a slice of luck. Como enjoyed a huge advantage, but could not score against Atalanta even from the penalty spot. Raffaele Palladino’s side have looked far better defensively in 2026. The club have conceded in only one of their last six matches, and in this spell recorded four clean-sheet wins. Moreover, ahead of the upcoming round, the team also prevented Juventus from scoring in the Coppa Italia.
It is unclear how Cremonese will find gaps in such a defence. The visitors have now failed to score in four straight league matches, and away from home this run is even longer. By xG, the club are among the bottom three in the competition. Clearly, it is difficult to pick up points without goals, and Davide Nicola’s men have lost 4 of their last 5 away games in the Serie A.
Prediction: Atalanta to win to nil
