Cremonese form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Cremonese so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 0-5-6 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row.

Cremonese have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 259 minutes ago. Okereke was the goal scorer.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Cremonese, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-3 versus Napoli (placed 1st). Cremonese goalkeeper Carnesecchi could take pride in a terrific day versus Napoli, but despite achieving six saves the beating could not be helped. Sernicola got a match rating of 6.95 in that game, top player of the team. Sernicola dribled past the opponent 5 of 6 times.

Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Lecce.

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Cremonese have conceded 21 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Torino have managed a sequence of 4 consecutive games without defeat (3-1-0) when playing Cremonese.

Cremonese - Torino 1-2 was the output when these two squads last played each other, also in this season.
