Hellas Verona form and stats

With 1 Serie A win, 0 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Hellas Verona are certainly not brimming with confidence. When Hellas Verona hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Hellas Verona, Sampdoria, Spezia, Sassuolo, Monza and Salernitana), they have won 1 of 2 matches! It's been an uphill battle for Hellas Verona in their home games for quite some time now, as five matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Sampdoria game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

Hellas travelled for their previous game, a trip to Torino that ended 1-1. Đurić, a natural forward, was the declared top player for the team in that game, scoring a rating of 7.74 (out of 10). Đurić scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Spezia (1-2).

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 Hellas Verona have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 8 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 2 and lost 4.

Hellas Verona have conceded 17 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Cremonese form and stats

Cremonese have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 0-4-4 (8 played).

Cremonese aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 271 league minutes without a goal. Ciofani was the last player to find the net.

Home advantage was not enough for Cremonese in their previous game as they lost hosting Juventus, 0-1. It's a bit troubling for Cremonese that their goalie Carnesecchi managed seven saves in the Juventus match, but still were unable to stop a loss.

Prior to that match, the Cremonese manager Alvini faced defeat when travelling to Empoli and losing 0-2.

Cremonese 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, 3 draws and 2 defeats. From a total of 6 matches.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Cremonese have scored 9 goals in 8 league games away. Cremonese struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 15 goals conceded from these games. When Cremonese is visiting a side on the bottom half, 2 of 2 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against Cremonese, Sampdoria, Spezia, Sassuolo, Monza and Salernitana.

Head 2 Head

Previous eight meetings between these teams: Hellas Verona won four, Cremonese were winners in two and we saw two draws. three games with more than 2,5 goals, five matches with less than 2,5 goals.
