Serie A 2025-2026: Bologna-Cremonese, the likely lineups

Bologna and Cremonese close the program of the 13th day of Serie A. The Rossoblù come to the fixture on the strength of a streak of twelve consecutive useful results between the league and cups, with three wins in a row in Serie A, and aiming to remain in the group in the running for the Champions League.

The opposite situation for the Grigiorossi, coming off three consecutive defeats and eager to break the negative momentum so as not to get too close to the relegation zone. In the 29 previous matches, the balance is in favor of Bologna: 13 wins, 6 Cremonese victories and 10 draws.

In Bologna, Italiano still has to give up Vitik and Immobile, whose return is postponed. A slight turnover is possible after the Europa League match against Salzburg and ahead of the Coppa Italia match with Parma. Orsolini could start from the bench; recovered, though not at best, Cambiaghi and Rowe. Forward, a ballot for the central forward role, with Castro favored over Dallinga. Ravaglia is confirmed in goal, given Skorupski’s absence.

Good news for Nicola, who rejoins Silvestri, Zerbin and Moumbagna. Payero is available again and should play in the middle of the field along with Bondo and Vandeputte. Up front Vardy is untouchable, flanked probably by Bonazzoli.

Probable lineups:

Bologna (4-2-3-1): Ravaglia; De Silvestri, Heggem, Lucumì, Miranda; Pobega, Ferguson; Bernardeschi, Odgaard, Domínguez; Castro.
All: Italian.

Cremonese (3-5-2): Audero; Terracciano, Baschirotto, Bianchetti; Barbieri, Payero, Bondo, Vandeputte, Mussolini; Vardy, Bonazzoli.
All: Nicola.
