Juventus vs Cremonese Prediction - Serie A: The Allianz Stadium fortress and the challenge facing the Old Lady.

Juventus will host Cremonese at Allianz Stadium at 02:45 on January 13, 2026. This match is not only an opportunity for the Turin team to close the gap with the leading group, but also a test of the stability of their defense, which is currently one of the best in the league.

Contrasting positions and form on the league table.

Currently, Juventus are in 5th place with 36 points after 19 rounds. The home team's form is extremely impressive, with 4 wins and 1 draw in their last 5 domestic league matches. In particular, Allianz Stadium is proving to be a true fortress, as Juventus have not lost a single home game since the beginning of the season (5 wins, 4 draws).

Conversely, Cremonese are struggling in 13th place with 22 points. The visitors are going through a difficult period, having not won in their last 5 matches, including 2 draws and 3 losses. Although they have had 3 away wins this season, against an opponent of a different caliber like Juventus, achieving even a single point is predicted to be extremely difficult for the visitors.

The solidity of Juventus' defense.

Juventus' greatest strength lies in their defense. In 19 matches, they have conceded only 16 goals (an average of 0.8 goals per game). At home, their disciplined style of play allows Juventus to control the game effectively and minimize opponents' opportunities. With a consistent scoring rate (1.4 goals per game), the "Old Lady" often wins by making the most of even the smallest chances.

Head-to-head history and key statistics

History is absolutely on the side of the Turin team. In their last three encounters in Serie A, Juventus have won all three and conceded only one goal:

• 02/11/2025:Cremonese 1 - 2 Juventus
• 15/05/2023:Juventus 2 - 0 Cremonese
• 05/01/2023:Cremonese 0 - 1 Juventus

Statistics show that Cremonese often struggle to break through Juventus' defense. The visitors only score an average of 1.1 goals per game, while conceding 23 goals after 19 rounds. The difference in squad depth and experience at the highest level is the biggest obstacle Cremonese needs to overcome if they want to spring a surprise.

Tactical analysis and prediction

Based on the statistics, Juventus is estimated to have a 50% chance of winning, while Cremonese's chances of winning are almost zero. The home team is expected to employ a control-oriented style of play, applying pressure early on to find the opening goal.

The match is likely to be a tight affair with few goals. Juventus, with their superiority in every aspect, are predicted to win all three points, but the score may not be too lopsided as they prioritize defensive safety.
