The Serie B season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Cremonese and Brescia promises to be an interesting one.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Serie B. That game was an away game at Lecce, so at least Cremonese are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Cremonese form and stats

Cremonese are yet to win a home game, having collected 1 point from their first two Serie B games here at Stadio Giovanni Zini. The last three games played by Cremonese, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

An away draw last time out for Cremonese, facing Lecce in a game that ended 2-2. Before that, Cremonese drew at home versus Venezia.

Opportunity lost for Cremonese in the Lecce match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.

This is expected to be a close game, with Cremonese perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Cremonese as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Cremonese has won four of these, drawn five and lost two.

There will be little rest for Cremonese after this match as they are travelling to Cagliari for a Coppa Italia game in only three days.

Cremonese has scored 0 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Brescia form and stats

No Serie B points yet away for Brescia, from their first 2 matches. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 13 away games in a row.

Brescia lost away at Chievo (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. That result followed a home victory 3-0 versus Lecce.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Brescia playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were two Brescia wins, one draw and four defeats.

A new game in only three days for Brescia, the Coppa Italia home match versus Perugia. Busy days.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Brescia has managed 0 goals and let in 4 from 2 matches.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last eight meetings: two - four - two (Cremonese wins - draws - Brescia wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
