Cremonese and Sassuolo Current Form and Standings

Cremonese got off to a flying start on their return back to the Italian top flight, as they managed to see out a win against icons AC Milan. The Tigers took an early lead which was soon levelled by Milan’s Pavlovic, until Bonazzoli sealed the winner in the 61st minute. The victory puts Cremonese to fifth in the table, although a lot of teams are level on three points with it only being one game into the campaign. The side from Cremona still have a lot more to prove if they want to retain their place in the division.

Sassuolo didn’t quite reach the same heights as Cremonese on opening day, as they fell to a 2-0 defeat to reigning champions Napoli. Of course, that match was always going to be a tough one for the newly promoted outfit, but Napoli looked in control throughout, with goals from Scott McTominay and Kevin De Bruyne. The Black and Greens are now 19th in the league table but still have a long time to turn things around.

Federico Baschirotto (Cremonese) - The centre-back had an incredible game against AC Milan on opening day, helping his team to prevent goals but also scoring one at the other end. The 28-year-old signed from Lecce this summer and could be a crucial part of his team’s season.

Armand Laurienté (Sassuolo) - Although he didn’t hit the ground running in his first game of the season, the winger was Sassuolo’s top scorer in the Serie B last season. He grabbed 18 goals and five assists, looking ready to make the step back up to the top flight.
