Atalanta vs Cremonese Prediction: La Dea on cruise control

A double helping of Serie A action on Monday as relegation-threatened Cremonese travel to Bergamo to face Atalanta (KO 17:00, live on DAZN).

Read on for my Atalanta vs Cremonese predictions, complete with the latest odds and team news.

Atalanta vs Cremonese Odds

Atalanta have never lost a Serie A game against Cremonese in Bergamo. The home side are 1/3 to earn maximum points here, with the visiting side 8/1 outsiders and the draw priced at 4/1.

Over 2.5 goals can be backed at 8/11, while both teams to find the net is rated a 1/1 chance.

Team News

La Dea are missing the suspended duo of teenage centre-back Honest Ahanor and captain Marten de Roon, but boss Raffaele Palladino is boosted by the return of Mitchel Bakker from injury.

Atalanta fielded a strong side in the midweek Copa Italia win over Juventus and minimal changes to the starting XI are expected.

Cremonese recently added new signings Milan Djuric, Giulio Patrignani and Youssef Maleh to their roster in the fight against relegation but they will still be without injured trio of Michele Collocolo, Antonio Sanabria and Warren Bondo.

Midfielder Jari Vandeputte has been struggling with a muscle strain and is likely to be assessed late.

Atalanta -1 @ 1/1

Cremonese haven't beaten Atalanta in more than 30 years, though their last four Serie A head to heads have ended all square. The visiting side have never recorded a top-flight success in Bergamo and it would be a major shock if that changes now.

Atalanta made a poor start to this season, resulting in Raffaele Palladino taking over in the dugout in December.

He's led them to qualification in the Champions League and they booked a Coppa Italia semi-final place with a 3-0 win over Juventus last time out. They are unbeaten in seven domestically in 2026, keeping six clean sheets.

Cremonese have failed to score in eight of their last nine games and even renowned survival specialist Davide Nicola must be starting to fear for his free-falling side.

This looks set for a routine home win, likely to nil, but Atalanta to win by at least two goals looks the safest play as they have scored 11 times in their last four at home.

Cremonese - Team With Most Booking Points @ 4/5

Atalanta are disciplined in every way under Palladino. They are not conceding goals and with just 34 yellow cards so far in 23 league games, they boast the third-lowest tally going into this round of fixtures, picking up just three in their last three home Serie A games.

Cremonese have collected eight cautions in three games recently. The scrap for survival is now very real for them and it is taking hold.

This looks another tough assignment for the Grigiorossi and the card count may be all they win.
