The reverse fixture in November last year ended 1-0 in the Old Lady's favour thanks to Arkadiusz Milik's free-kick goal a minute into the injury time.
Juventus will be bidding to make it three consecutive Serie A-wins when they host Cremonese at Allianz Stadium on Sunday. The hosts are heading into the match on the back of a 1-1 draw against Sevilla in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final tie on Thursday, while the visitors secured a 2-0 league-win over Spezia last weekend. As of now, Bianconeri are occupying second spot in the Italian top flight standings, having collected 66 points from 34 games, just five points clear of fifth-placed AC Milan. The visitors, meanwhile, are languishing at the 19th position, with 24 points to their name, just six adrift of safety.

Juventus got out of jail in the mid-week European game aginst Sevilla, thanks to Federico Gatti’s dramatic equaliser seven minutes into the injury time. The result was a boost to Bianconeri’s pursuit of the last piece of silverware available to them this season. Massimiliano Allegri’s side must overcome Sevilla in next week’s second leg at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan to make it to the title-decider in Budapest later this month. Meanwhile, when it comes to the Serie A, Allegri’s side secured their 20th victory against Atalanta last weekend thanks to two unanswered goals from Samuel Illing-Junior and Dusan Vlahovic. Allegri’s side have the best home-record in the top flight this term, having taken 39 points from a possible 51 so far.
Cremonese, on the other hand, have recorded only one away-win in the league this season, while taking 11 points from 17 games on the road. The Violins got the better of Spezia last time out courtesy of goals from Daniel Ciofani and Johan Vasquez. The result extended their unbeaten run to four matches, while the previous three were draws. Prior to the win over Spezia, the Gray and Reds earned a point away to the reigning champions Milan. Having lost just one of their last six Serie A-games, while collecting 11 points in the process, the Tigers have kept their slim survival hopes alive.
Juventus have never lost to Cremonese in the Serie A, with 11 wins from 15 encounters demonstrating the gulf between the two clubs of very different stature. In fact, the Gray and Reds have lost all seven of their top flight visits to face Juve in Turin, with aggregate score of 21-3 in Bianconeri’s favour. The reverse fixture in November last year ended 1-0 in the Old Lady’s favour thanks to Arkadiusz Milik’s free-kick goal a minute into the injury time. It was Juve’s 15th victory against the Tigers in 22 clashes across all competitions, while the Violins have prevailed only once and that was way back in 1923.
