Serie A – Matchday 20

Date: Monday, January 12, 2026

Kick-off: 19:45 CET / 20:45 local time (Allianz Stadium, Turin)

 

Juventus vs Cremonese Prediction

Juventus welcome Cremonese to the Allianz Stadium on Monday, January 12, 2026 (Matchday 20) as the Bianconeri continue their push for a top-four finish in Serie A. Sitting 4th in the table, Juventus come into this clash in strong form, unbeaten in recent matches and fresh from a dominant 3–0 victory over Sassuolo. Cremonese, currently 13th, are winless in their last five league games and have struggled badly on the road.

Historically, this fixture strongly favors Juventus. The Turin giants are unbeaten in 13 straight home league matches, have won the last three head-to-head meetings, and already beat Cremonese 2–1 away in November. With Cremonese failing to score in recent away trips, this looks like another tough night for the visitors.

 Team News & Injuries

Juventus Injury Report

Luciano Spalletti continues to deal with several absentees in both defense and attack:

• Out:
  • Dušan Vlahović (tendon injury – out until March)
  • Federico Gatti (meniscus – late January return)
  • Daniele Rugani (calf – early February)
  • Arkadiusz Milik (physical discomfort)
  • Jonas Rouhi (muscle injury)
  • Francisco Conceição (muscle injury)

Despite these setbacks, Juventus have remained solid defensively and dangerous going forward, with Kenan Yıldız in excellent form and Jonathan David contributing key goals.

Cremonese Injury Report

• Out:

Warren Bondo (muscle injury – mid-January return)

Cremonese have fewer injury concerns but continue to struggle in attack, especially in away matches.

 

 Predicted Lineups

Juventus (3-4-2-1 / 4-2-3-1):
Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer, Koopmeiners (or Kelly); McKennie, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; Miretti, Yıldız; David

Cremonese (3-5-2):
Audero; Terracciano, Baschirotto, Bianchetti; Zerbin, Grassi, Payero, Pezzella; Bonazzoli, Vardy

Jamie Vardy remains Cremonese’s biggest threat, but he will need strong support to break down a disciplined Juventus backline.

 

Our Prediction

Juventus have the superior squad depth, stronger form, and clear home advantage. Cremonese’s poor away record and recent lack of goals make an upset highly unlikely.

Predicted Score: Juventus 2–0 Cremonese

Juventus should control this match from start to finish and keep their Champions League qualification hopes firmly on track.
