Inter Milan will travel to the Giovanni Zini Stadium in Serie A on Saturday (January 28) to take on Cremonese, looking to bounce back from their shock loss to Empoli in midweek.
The Nerazzurri lost 1-0 at home to the Blues, with Tommaso Baldanzi scoring a 66th-minute winner after Milan Skriniar was sent off in the opening stanza. It was their sixth loss of the season, as Filipo Inzaghi's side dropped to fourth in the standings with 37 points from 19 games, behind Lazio on goal difference.
They're now a staggering 13 points behind runaway leaders Napoli at the midway of the season, with their hopes of a second Scudetto in three seasons waning quickly.
Cremonese, meanwhile, are at the bottom of the standings with eight points from 19 games and without a single victory in what has been a disastrous return to the top flight after 26 years.
The Grigiorossi ended a run of four losses with a 1-1 draw against Bologna on Monday. That came on the back of a stunning 5-4 shootout win over Napoli in the Coppa Italia.
