1. As a newly-promoted team, US Cremonese's top priority in the new Serie A season is to avoid relegation. They are well aware of the strength gap between themselves and AC Milan, but still hope to test their competitiveness in the Serie A through this game. If they can put in an impressive performance away from home—even if it means picking up points or scoring a goal—it will greatly boost the team's morale and confidence, adding momentum to their subsequent relegation battle.
2. US Cremonese also signed new players during the summer transfer window, with players such as striker Antonio Sanabria, midfielders Martin Payero, Alberto Grassi, Warren Bondo, Jari Vandeputte, and defenders Giuseppe Pezzella, Federico Baschirotto, Romano Floriani Mussolini all joining the team.

3. US Cremonese have recorded 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss in their last 4 games, with their recent ability to secure victories being relatively average. In their last Coppa Italia game, they played out a 0-0 draw with Palermo within 90 minutes and were eventually eliminated after a penalty shootout with a score of 4-5, which has dented the team's morale.
4. US Cremonese conceded 6 goals in the last 5 games with a poor defense.

The newly-promoted US Cremonese have recorded 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss in their last 4 games with mediocre form.
AC Milan are much stronger in strength and squad depth, and they also have the home advantage.
Although Rafael Leao's absence will affect their attacking firepower, with the organizational and linking play of new signings like Luka Modric, AC Milan are still expected to control the tempo of the game.
In conclusion, we expect AC Milan to beat US Cremonese at home and make a good start for the Serie A.
