Cremonese are currently struggling badly for form, having gone eight consecutive Serie A matches without a victory.

Their problems are even more evident when facing top-five sides. They have suffered heavy defeats against Juventus (5-0), Napoli (2-0), and Roma (3-1), with their only positive result in that bracket coming from an away win against Bologna.

Inter, on the other hand, arrive in good shape with four wins in their last five matches. They will be without Barella, Çalhanoğlu, and Dumfries, but the overall squad depth remains strong enough to cope with these absences.
