Cremonese seeks continued momentum in Turin

Torino look to arrest their poor form against an in-form Grigiorossi side.

Saturday’s action on matchday 15 in Serie A kicks off at the Olimpico Grande Torino, where Torino face Cremonese. The home side are desperate to turn things around after three consecutive defeats against Como, Lecce and AC Milan, a run that has seen them slide down the table. Cremonese, on the other hand, have bounced back impressively from a tricky spell in early November, winning their last two matches against Bologna and Lecce, and are now targeting a third straight victory to climb even higher in the standings.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

In the 12 previous official meetings between the sides in Turin, Torino have recorded 6 wins (the most recent a 3–0 victory in Serie B 2005/06), there have been 4 draws (the latest a 2–2 in Serie A 2022/23) and 2 away wins for Cremonese (the last a 0–1 in Serie B 1996/97).

DID YOU KNOW?

One of the key figures in the history of this fixture is Emiliano Mondonico, who coached both clubs. In 1984/85 he suffered two defeats in charge of Cremonese (3–2 in the Coppa Italia and 1–0 in Serie A); as Torino coach he recorded two wins, in 1991/92 (2–0 in Serie A) and 1998/99 (5–3 in Serie B), and one draw (1–1 in Serie A 1993/94). Torino are the team that have conceded the most goals in Serie A 2025/26: 26.

COACHES and PLAYERS

This is the 10th official meeting between Marco Baroni and Davide Nicola: in the previous nine there have been 4 wins for the Torino coach, 3 draws and 2 wins for the Cremonese boss. Marco Baroni faces his former club: he has coached Cremonese in two spells, from July to October 2010 in Lega Pro Prima Divisione and from October to December 2019 in Serie B, for a total of 25 matches in charge, with 8 wins, 9 draws and 8 defeats. Davide Nicola faces his former club: as a Torino player he made 39 appearances and scored 2 goals in 2005/06, including the one that sealed promotion to Serie A in a 3–1 win in the second leg of the play-off final at the Olimpico against Mantova. As a coach, he recorded 5 wins, 9 draws and 6 defeats in 20 matches between January and June 2021. Antonio Sanabria faces his former club: in Cremonese–Lecce he ended a fourteen-month goal drought in Serie A. His previous league goal had come on 20 October 2024 in Cagliari– Torino 3–2.
