Yet another entertaining game in the Serie B. Cremonese is in the 9th spot after playing three games. They host Sampdoria who are placed 13th after three games.
It's no vacation for neither Cremonese nor Sampdoria 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.
Cremonese form and stats
Cremonese have collected 1 point from their Serie B home games so far after 0-1-1.
Happy days for Cremonese in their previous game, a fixture away at Ternana (placed 19th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Ravanelli was on the receiving end of a red card in the Cremonese-Ternana match, being sent off in the 62nd minute. The game was drawn at that point, but the home side still managed to pull off a 1-0 victory. Lochoshvili was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.84 out of 10. The defender Lochoshvili hit the woodwork once and won 6 of 7 duels.
Before that game, the home loss against Bari 1908 with the scoreline 0-1.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Cremonese have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 4 and lost 4.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Cremonese at home in the league. 0 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Sampdoria form and stats
A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Serie B, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 2 wins, 3 draws and 14 defeats from 19 matches.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, the home defeat versus Venezia with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Attacker Pedrola got a player rating of 7.94 in the game. "Man of the match" Pedrola scored one goal, hit two key passes and had 28 successful passes (of 30 total).
Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Pisa.Sampdoria are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat. From a total of 4 matches.
Sampdoria have the goal stats of 2-1 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last three meetings: one - zero - two (Cremonese wins - draws - Sampdoria wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.
