[(AC Milan) Strength]:
1. AC Milan invested in transfer funds this summer, with strong signings like Luka Modric joining the team, significantly boosting their strength. The club has no concerns about European competitions in the new season and can fully focus on the league, with their goal firmly set on the league title. This match marks their first home game of the new season, and the San Siro has always been a \"devil's home ground\" – the fans' support will further inspire the players' fighting spirit. AC Milan are eager to start the new season with a victory, laying a solid foundation for their title challenge throughout the campaign.
2. AC Milan strengthened their squad with signings during the summer transfer window, bringing in established players such as former Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric and Club Brugge's key midfielder Ardon Jashari, significantly enhancing the depth of their squad.

3. AC Milan conceded 7 goals in the last 5 games with a mediocre defense.
[(US Cremonese) Strength]:
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.

[(US Cremonese) Weakness]:
1. US Cremonese defender Tommaso Barbieri, midfielder Mattia Valoti and forward Franco Vazquez will all miss the first Serie A round in the new season due to injuries.
2. US Cremonese finished 4th in Serie B last season and finally returned to Serie A through the promotion play-offs.
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.
5. US Cremonese lost 3 of the last 4 games in AH with a mediocre trend.
[Tips]:
AC Milan recorded 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last 6 games. They won and advanced in the last Coppa Italia game, which reveals their improved form in the new season.
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.
