At the Stadio Zini in Cremona, the Cremonese, in clear difficulty under Davide Nicola (whose position is at risk), hosts Max Allegri's Milan, coming off their second defeat of the season after the one at the debut against the grigiorossi.
For the home team, it's an opportunity to return to success and move away from the red zone. Milan, having seen Inter escape to +13 in the week leading up to the derby, must secure 3 points to extend their lead in the Champions zone and get back to -10 from Chivu's unreachable powerhouse.

😮💨 Vardy Thrill. Sparks Bonazzoli-Saele
At the 10th minute, sparks flew without consequences in the midfield between Bonazzoli and Saelemaekers. After a contact between the two, the grigiorosso forward went face to face with the Belgian on the ground, inviting him to get up before discussing with Massa.
At the 6th minute, the first real chance came for Cremonese, who started off better than Milan. A deflection from a corner action left the ball in the small area with Vardy trying with his right foot, finding opposition from Adrien Rabiot.
🗣️ Tare's Words
Igli Tare, Milan's Sporting Director, spoke to DAZN before the match against Cremonese. Here are his words.
"Looking at last year's results, our goal was stability and to create a team to go to the Champions League, and I believe I have done important work along with the club, staff, and team. More than 12 players have arrived, it's a new path, and it's understandable that some points might be lost along the way. We are aware that we must reach our goal and look to the future with enthusiasm.
Backlash? In football, we've seen it all and more. A defeat cannot take away certainties held for 6 months straight, then we saw how the KO came without going back to making controversies. Today we can win and face the derby week with enthusiasm.
Market? It's done by working as a group, sharing ideas, and knowing that next year will be important with more matches. Milan must be competitive."
