The match between AC Milan vs Cremonese in Serie A takes place at 1:45 a.m. on August 24. Let's analyze the performance, make football comments and predict the score.
Latest AC Milan vs Cremonese team information
After a summer of strong bloodshed, Milan's new recruits could start in the opening match. In addition to Luka Modric, they have recruited Ardon Jashari (Belgian League Player of the Year), Pervis Estupinan, Samuele Ricci, and the central defender pair Koni De Winter and Zachary Athekame.
On the contrary, Milan said goodbye to many key players: Tijjani Reijnders, Theo Hernandez, Malick Thiaw, and strikers Alvaro Morata, Luka Jovic, Tammy Abraham (loan contract ended), and Noah Okafor (to Leeds United).
With Rafael Leao injured, Allegri is likely to use Santiago Gimenez and Christian Pulisic up front. Pulisic – since joining in 2023 – has 33 goals and 20 assists in 100 games for Milan.
Cremonese are close to completing the signing of Antonio Sanabria, but Jari Vandeputte is the most dangerous player. Since the start of the 2023-24 season, he has 28 assists – a record only bettered by Mohamed Salah in all of Europe (including the top five leagues and the second tier respectively).
Two Milan loanees – Filippo Terracciano and Warren Bondo – could start for their opponents at San Siro. However, Cremonese will be without three key players through suspension: Mattia Valoti, Franco Vazquez and Tommaso Barbieri.

Latest football commentary AC Milan vs Cremonese
Despite still winning the Italian Super Cup and reaching the Coppa Italia final, AC Milan declined significantly in the 2024-25 season and are now looking towards a new phase.
At the end of a chaotic season, the Rossoneri board fired two Portuguese coaches – Paulo Fonseca and Sergio Conceicao – after finishing only 8th in Serie A.
Immediately after the magnificent victory in the Super Cup in early 2025, Milan were eliminated from the Champions League by Feyenoord, then almost gave up in Serie A and lost weakly in the Coppa Italia final.
Therefore, Massimiliano Allegri – who led Milan to the 2011 Scudetto – was invited back to the coaching bench. On the pitch, the club attracted attention when recruiting Luka Modric from Real Madrid to strengthen their leadership qualities.
After a series of friendlies in the Far East against Liverpool and Arsenal – sandwiched between a 9-0 thrashing of Perth Glory – Milan closed out their pre-season with two games against Premier League sides: a draw with Leeds United and a defeat to Chelsea.
Having finished eighth in Serie A last season, Milan had to start the Coppa Italia from round 1. Allegri’s first game of his second spell in charge saw a win over Bari thanks to goals from Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic – the pair were deployed as strikers. However, the club still has a lot of work to do to regain the trust of the fans.
Meanwhile, Cremonese have drawn with Milan twice in Serie A 2022-23, but have only picked up one point in their previous eight trips to the San Siro.
Cremo's opening Serie A record is also very bad: losing all 8 opening matches in the history of the top division.
Returning to Serie A via the play-offs last season, Cremonese beat Spezia in the final in June. After a 0-0 draw in the first leg, they led 3-0 in the second leg before almost letting their opponents equalise in the final minutes, but still won 3-2 on aggregate.
However, the club still decided to change coach: Giovanni Stroppa left, making way for Davide Nicola - who had just helped Cagliari stay in the league last season. This is considered the biggest challenge of his coaching career.
