Antonio Conte’s side currently sit in third place in Serie A, only behind Milan based on the H2H record between the clubs.

A win tonight would temporarily move last season’s champions into 2nd place, yet still nine points behind league leaders Inter in what seems an insurmountable challenge to stage a late fightback.

Regardless, Conte will be expecting a comfortable three points against a Cremonese side who sit only just above the relegation zone in 17th.

It was a strong start to the season for the Cremona side, then managed by Davide Nicola, before a severe drop off in from has left the side struggling.

Given relegation rivals Lecce face 19th placed, all-but relegated, Verona, defeat tonight could send Marco Giampaolo’s side into the bottom three by the end of the weekend.
