Cremonese form and stats

Three Serie B home games done for Cremonese, who are not happy collecting 2 points from these matches.

The home team returns to Stadio Giovanni Zini after drawing with Reggiana (placed 14th) on their last time out; the game ended 2-2. Late drama in the game against Reggiana as Cremonese were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until Coda popped out and made it level in the 86th minute. Castagnetti (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.01/10. Castagnetti dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 49 successful passes (of 52 total).

In the match before that, Cremonese hosted Sampdoria and drew the game 1-1.

The manager Ballardini will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Cosenza in only three days.

Cremonese has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: {1 goals} from 3 games. Cremonese are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadio Giovanni Zini in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.

Ascoli form and stats

It's not happening yet for Ascoli on their Serie B travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different?

This game can not go any worse than the last one, the home loss versus Palermo with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Late heartbreak for Ascoli in the Palermo match, as the deciding 0-1 goal came deep into overtime.

Prior to that match, the Ascoli manager Viali faced defeat when travelling to Sudtirol and losing 1-3.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Ascoli playing away, we found 4 games. Results were 1 away win, 2 draws and 1 home win.

After this away game Ascoli return home for a Serie B game against Ternana. That game is only three sleeps after this.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Ascoli's away games in the league this season with only {1 goals} from 3 matches. For Ascoli, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

Head to head numbers (for the former ten meetings): Cremonese won three games, four matches ended with a tie and Ascoli got three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / six.
