AS Roma vs Cremonese Prediction & Betting Tips (22 February)

AS Roma welcome Cremonese to the Stadio Olimpico in a fixture that arrives with the Giallorossi in quietly encouraging form. Over the past few weeks they have pieced together a solid run in Serie A, including a hard‑fought 1‑1 draw at home to Milan in late January and a convincing victory over Cagliari in early February. A battling point away to Napoli has also kept them firmly in the conversation for European qualification. The mood around the club has been shaped by this resilience: Roma are not blowing teams away, but they are increasingly difficult to beat and look tactically settled as the season moves into its decisive stretch.

Recent results underline that impression. Roma have stitched together a sequence of disciplined displays, with clean sheets against sides like Sassuolo and Lecce in January and only a narrow defeat away to Atalanta breaking an otherwise positive start to 2026. Supporters and local media have highlighted the growing balance between a compact back line and a more varied attack, with key players stepping up in big moments. With the schedule showing a busy run of league fixtures and the visit of Cremonese sandwiched between other important games, rotation and squad depth have become recurring talking points in the Roman press over the last month.

Cremonese, for their part, arrive in the capital as underdogs but not as a side to be dismissed. Their recent calendar has included demanding clashes against Juventus, Cagliari and Fiorentina, tests that have kept them sharp and exposed areas that still need work, especially in transition. Much of the recent discussion around Cremonese has focused on their ability to stay compact, frustrate stronger opponents and then break quickly when chances appear. They may not have the same attacking depth as Roma, but their work rate and organisation have allowed them to remain competitive and keep their hopes of consolidating their Serie A status alive.

All of this points toward a match where Roma are likely to control territory and possession while Cremonese look for isolated moments to strike, and the margins could be thin. Roma’s recent history in tight encounters—such as those previewed in 1 : 0, 1 : 0 and 1 : 0—suggests another cagey evening at the Olimpico, while Cremonese’s recent outings, like those covered in 1 : 0, reinforce the idea of a low‑scoring contest. Putting form, motivation and home advantage together, the most reasonable call is a narrow Roma victory, with a correct score prediction of 1
