Crema form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie D: Girone B this season. Crema have only managed 1 win, 3 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Stadio Giuseppe Voltini. When Crema hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Olginatese, Caravaggio, Vis Nova Giussano, Castellanzese, Crema and Villa d'Alme), they have won 1 of 2 matches! We have seen two home losses in a row now for Crema, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Crema are returning here after visiting Leon in a Serie D: Girone B game and winning with a 3-2 scoreline.

Preceding that match was the home game against Virtus Ciserano Bergamo that was lost 1-2.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Crema have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won two, drawn one and lost three.

Crema have scored 7 league goals here from 8 matches, not a lot. Crema have conceded 10 in these home matches. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches. Crema has at home met teams with this table position (low), two times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.
