Cremonese and Chievo have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Serie B.

It's no vacation for neither Cremonese nor Chievo as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Chievo are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Cremonese form and stats

6-4-6 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for Cremonese so far this season.

Before that, Cremonese had a home game versus Pescara which ended with a victory 1-0.

A late climax in the match against Livorno as the winning goal came two minutes into overtime; scored by Luca Valzania.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Cremonese as they are travelling to their away game against Perugia in the Serie B. That match is four days after this one.

The Cremonese fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 16 matches. Cremonese's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 17 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Chievo form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie B travels is 3 wins, 10 draws and 3 defeats. Chievo are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played eight in a row without losing.

Chievo delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Trapani (placed 18th) in their previous match; a Serie B game. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Virtus Entella that ended 1-1.

Goalkeeper Adrian Šemper made a total of six saves, making him a hero against Trapani. Heavily contributing to the draw after 90 minutes.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Serie B trip to Juve Stabia.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Chievo have scored 16 goals in 16 league games away. As opposed to that, Chievo have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Chievo - Cremonese 1-0. Head-2-head stats last two meetings: zero - zero - two (Cremonese wins - draws - Chievo wins). As for goals, zero matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.
