Cremonese travel to Stadio Diego Armando Maradona to face Napoli on Friday, April 24, 2026, in the opening match of Serie A Round 34.

Kickoff is set for 3:00 p.m. ET, and this is not just a late-season filler spot.

They are safe, competitive, and only a few points off the European chase, so there is still motivation here. Forest, meanwhile, have steadied themselves with a five-match unbeaten run in league play and a 4-1 win over
