After finally claiming their first Serie A success of the season, Cremonese continue their improbable battle for survival on Monday, as they visit mid-table Sassuolo.
Adding an overdue league victory to last month's Coppa Italia win over Roma lifted the Grigiorossi off the foot of the table, while their hosts also took maximum points last time out.
We say: Sassuolo 2-1 Cremonese
Having finally ended their drought, Cremonese will now be seeking a first away victory of their league campaign - however, despite recent improvements, they have conceded at a rate of nearly two goals per game on the road. Sassuolo are also looking a lot more like their old selves, so can be expected to post a fourth win in six games.

Having experienced different fortunes against Serie A giants last week, mid-table rivals Torino and Bologna will meet on Monday evening.
The hosts play their third straight match in Turin following Tuesday's defeat in the Derby della Mole, while their visitors are fresh from a home victory over Inter.
We say: Torino 2-2 Bologna
Torino are unbeaten in their last seven Serie A matches played on a Monday - the most recent six coming under current coach Ivan Juric - and that streak should be extended against Bologna.
Both clubs have developed more of a goal threat of late, so an entertaining draw could be on the cards when Juric locks horns with former Genoa teammate Thiago Motta on the touchline.
