CREMONA, Italy (Interstat) — US Cremonese hosts Lazio on Monday in a Serie A matchup that carries significant stakes for both clubs as the Italian league season enters its final weeks.

The match at Stadio Giovanni Zini pits a Lazio side chasing European qualification against a Cremonese team fighting to solidify its position in the top flight.

Lazio enters the contest unbeaten in its last two outings, coming off a wild 3-3 draw at home against Udinese on April 27. That result followed a strong 2-0 victory at Napoli on April 18, a performance that demonstrated the visitors’ capability against top competition. However, Lazio has been inconsistent, managing just three wins in its last six matches with draws against Parma and Lecce mixed in with a 1-0 loss at Fiorentina on April 13.

The most recent meeting between these sides ended scoreless on Dec. 20, 2025.

Cremonese looks to rebound after a 4-0 defeat at Napoli on April 24, a result that snapped a two-match winning streak. Before that loss, Cremonese had posted consecutive 1-0 victories over Torino and Salernitana, showing defensive resilience. The home side has struggled for consistent attacking production, with four of its last eight matches producing one goal or fewer.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw.

For Lazio, the match is critical ahead of a challenging week that includes a Serie A fixture against Inter Milan on May 9 followed by a Super Cup meeting with the same opponent on May 13.

Cremonese faces Pisa at home on May 10.

Kickoff is set for 8:45 p.m. local time.
