Atalanta vs. Cremonese: Lombardy derby

The penultimate fixture of matchday 24 in Serie A takes place at the New Balance Arena. Palladino’s side, after earning a point at Como despite being a man down for the majority of the match, will be looking to return to winning ways as they continue their push for a European spot. Cremonese, meanwhile, are desperate to end a difficult run that has produced just three points from their last nine games and will be looking to get back on track in their fight for survival.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

In the 23 precedents in Bergamo between the two Lombard teams record of 14 Nerazzurri victories (latest 3-0 in Coppa Italia 2016/17), 7 draws (latest 1-1 in Serie A 2022/23), only 2 Grigiorossi victories (latest 0-3 in Serie B 1987/88).
