Overview

• Kickoff is Friday 29 August at 18:30 local time at the Zini, with live coverage exclusively on DAZN, which some listings also carry on Sky’s Zona DAZN 1.
• Cremonese arrive off a 2-1 upset at Milan, while Sassuolo look to rebound from a 0-2 home defeat to Napoli following contrasting Coppa Italia outcomes.
• Betting markets lean toward both teams scoring, with prices around 1.70–1.73, and make the hosts slight favorites in the match odds.
• Recent head-to-head at this venue favors the visitors, as Cremonese have not won any of the last three home league meetings and last beat Sassuolo here in 2007.
• Outlets publish probable lineups and assign Guida as referee, with transfer talk remaining unconfirmed on a potential Jamie Vardy move to Cremonese and Matic possibly on Sassuolo’s bench.
