The Serie A matchday 24 fixture between Atalanta vs Cremonese will take place on February 9 at New Balance Arena in Bergamo. Atalanta vs Cremonese: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Atalanta
The team drew away to Como in the previous round (0:0). Atalanta’s unbeaten run in the league has now reached six matches (four wins, two draws), and in five games during that spell the side coached by Raffaele Palladino kept a clean sheet. It is worth noting that in the rest of the campaign Atalanta have managed just four clean-sheet games. Meanwhile, the team have failed to score only for the fifth time this season. In the standings, Atalanta sit seventh, five points off the European places.
- No more than two goals were scored in 7 of Atalanta’s last 8 Serie A matches.
- On home soil, the team have won 5 of their previous 6 league games (1 defeat).
- In the 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, Onest Ahanor – Nicola Zalewski, Lorenzo Bernasconi, Marten de Roon, Davide Zappacosta – Charles De Ketelaere, Gianluca Scamacca, Ederson.
Midfielder Marten de Roon and defender Onest Ahanor are suspended.
Cremonese
The defeat to Inter in the previous round (0:2) was the fifth loss in the last seven league matches for the side coached by Davide Nicola (two draws). Even more worrying is the fact that the team have managed to score in only one match during that run. In total, Cremonese have gone 11 games without scoring, and only Parma (12) and Lecce (13) have 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 have gone five Serie A matches without a win (1 draw, 4 defeats).
- In 6 of the 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.
Midfielder Warren Bondo is injured.

Atalanta vs Cremonese: Match Prediction
Atalanta picked up points last round with a fair amount of luck. Como had a huge advantage, but were unable to score against Atalanta, even from the penalty spot. The defensive work of the side coached by Raffaele Palladino has improved significantly in 2026. The club have conceded in just one of six matches and recorded four clean-sheet wins in that stretch. In addition, ahead of the upcoming round, the team also prevented Juventus from scoring in the Coppa Italia.
It is hard to see how Cremonese will find gaps against such a defence. The team have now gone four straight league matches without scoring, and that run is even longer away from home. On xG, the club are among the three worst sides in the competition. Clearly, it is difficult to pick up points without goals, and the side coached by Davide Nicola have lost 4 of their last 5 away matches in the Serie A.
Prediction: Atalanta to win to nil
