In a clash between two teams from the extreme ends of the Serie A standings, league leaders Napoli will entertain last-placed Cremonese at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday. The hosts made it five wins in a row in the league last week as they made quick work of Spezia in their away game.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring in the 47th minute and Victor Osimhen bagged a brace later in the game to help Napoli pick up a 3-0 win. Cremonese’s poor run in the league continued last week as they fell to a 2-0 home defeat against Lecce. With that loss, they remained in 20th place in the league table with just eight points to their name. Napoli have a solid 13-point lead over second-placed Inter Milan at the top of the standings.

Napoli vs Cremonese Prediction
The Partenopei have been in solid form this season and have been undefeated at home in Serie A. They have scored 14 goals in their last five league games while conceding just two goals and keeping three clean sheets in that period. They have the best attacking and defensive record in the league this term and are strong favorites.
The Grigiorossi are winless in Serie A this term and might struggle here. They were able to defeat Napoli in the Coppa Italia last month but considering their current form, it is unlikely that they’ll be able to repeat that feat.
As Luciano Spalletti’s men have hit a purple patch in the league, we expect them to record a comfortable win.
Prediction: Napoli 3-1 Cremonese
Napoli vs Cremonese Head-To-Head

Napoli vs Cremonese Team News
In the fortunate position of having a full squad at his disposal, Luciano Spalletti is set to name a familiar XI on Sunday, with in-demand striker Victor Osimhen leading the line up front. The Nigerian has netted in each of his last five league appearances – seven goals in all – and is the leading scorer across Europe’s top five leagues in 2023.
Irrepressible winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (eight goals, nine assists) has been involved in 17 Serie A strikes since signing for the club last summer, and he joins Osimhen and either Hirving Lozano or Matteo Politano in a formidable front three.
Such are Spalletti’s riches at the moment, even long-term absentee Diego Demme could make a brief cameo at some stage, having been back on the bench last weekend.
Napoli vs Cremonese Predicted Lineups
Napoli:
Meret; Di Lorenzo, Kim, Rrahmani, Rui; Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski; Lozano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia
Cremonese:
Carnesecchi; Bianchetti, Chiriches, Vasquez; Sernicola, Meite, Castagnetti, Pickel, Valeri; Dessers, Ciofani
