Cremonese hunt third consecutive win to maintain perfect start

Serie A's dominance has long been dictated by Juventus, Inter, and Milan, the three most decorated clubs in the competition's history with 75 'Scudettos' between them. However, Napoli have emerged as serious contenders, claiming two titles in the last three years.

Every Italian team dreams of challenging the established order, and Cremonese are living that dream with their stellar start to the league campaign.

Davide Nicola's side, alongside Napoli and Juventus, are the only teams to have secured maximum points from their opening two matches. They aim to make it three from three against Hellas Verona, who languish in the lower reaches of the table and are yet to register a win.

Victory would see the 'grigiorossi' draw level with their rivals on nine points and continue their sensational form. It's worth remembering that they have only graced the top flight of Italian football on two occasions in the last 10 years, returning this season after a two-year stint in Serie B.

Furthermore, Cremonese are currently enjoying their best winning streak in Serie A in the same season (they achieved eight consecutive victories in Serie B in 1992) and boast a goal difference of five for and three against. This is the rebellion of a minnow looking to make a big statement.
