Cremonese vs Lecce prediction 07.12.2025 | Serie A

Cremonese climbed back to Serie A through the playoffs last season, which already felt like a minor miracle after two strong but ultimately frustrating years in Serie B.

With 17 points after 13 matches, they float safely in mid-table, about seven steps away from real danger. However, if you are watching them at home each week, the calm fades a little.

Their only victory at the Zini so far came months ago, and the three draws and two losses since then have created a strange split between their sturdy away form and jittery home displays.

Vardy and the rest of Giovanni Stroppa’s men will at least carry some confidence from the 3–1 win at Bologna earlier in the week, which finally put an end to a rough patch of three straight defeats.

As for absences, Michele Collocolo is still dealing with a stubborn hamstring problem and will not return yet. Mikayil Faye misses out as well after an ankle setback.

Lecce have been hanging around the top division since winning promotion in 2021–22, always managing to survive but often by the thinnest of margins.

Last season they finished just one place above the drop, a reminder that stability is not something this club gets for free. Supporters hoped for a quieter ride this year. They might still get it, although the signs so far suggest another campaign lived on the edge.

Eusebio Di Francesco’s men arrive after a 2–1 victory against Torino, a result that finally broke a brief winless run. They have lost only once in their last four, and because two of their three league wins came away from home, the travelling supporters will not head to Cremona without a bit of belief.

Adding to that mood is the memory of their last trip to this ground, where they left with all three points.

On the injury front, Gaby Jean remains sidelined with a cruciate ligament problem and Balthazar Pierret is also out with a hamstring issue. Filip Marchwinski might feature, although his fitness still needs checking.
