A Look at Past Matches Between Lazio & Cremonese: Milinkovic-Savic Tames the Tigres | OneFootball

On Saturday, Lazio and Cremonese will share the same pitch for the first time in more than two years, as Maurizio Sarri’s men entertain their visitors from the north at Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Compared to other rivalries, these two clubs have a relatively brief history in Serie A, mainly due to the Grigiorossi’s limited top-flight appearances. Nevertheless, the numbers behind this fixture are still worth a look.

Lazio vs Cremonese: Head-to-Head Record

The Biancocelesti have the clear upper hand in this fixture. The two sides met on 16 previous meetings in Serie A, with Lazio emerging victorious on nine occasions, thus enjoying a winning percentage above 50%. On the other hand, the Tigers were victorious five times, and the two sides shared the spoils on four occasions.

Lazio outscored their opponents 32-18 in their past fixtures, and yet, the top goal-scorer remains Cremonese’s Gustavo Dezotti with four strikes to his name, one ahead of former Lazio stars Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Pierluigi Casiraghi, Franco Rier and Luigi Ziroli.

Lazio Home Record vs Cremonese

The Italian capital side has completely dominated this fixture at home. In their eight previous Serie A meetings in Rome, the Aquile won seven times and registered one draw, dating back to 1989. The Grigiorossi never managed to beat Lazio in their travels, at least not in the top flight.

Latest Lazio Victory vs Cremonese

The last meeting between these two teams was almost folkloric. It took place on May 28, 2023, when Lazio had already booked their place in the Champions League, while Le Tigri’s relegation had already been confirmed. Nevertheless, the two clubs played out an entertaining contest at the Olimpico.

Goals from Elseid Hysaj and Milinkovic-Savic gave Sarri’s men a two-goal cushion at half-time, but the visitors crawled their way back thanks to Pablo Galdames and an own goal from Manuel Lazzari. Nevertheless, a late header from Milinkovic-Savic won the day for the home side.

Latest Cremonese victory vs Lazio

Cremonese’s most recent win over Lazio occurred on March 24, 1996. After a goalless first half at the Stadio Giovanni Zini, Paolo Negro gave the capital club the lead right after the break, but Andrea Tantoni’s brace turned the match upside-down, gifting the home side a precious 2-1 win.
