Cremonese form and stats
3 victories, 4 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Cremonese have to build on here at Stadio Giovanni Zini in the Serie B. So many draws at home for Cremonese, an amazing four in a row now.
It's back home for Cremonese, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Cosenza away with the result 2-0. Emanuele Valeri and Luca Strizzolo found the net in that victory. The gifted forward Luca Strizzolo outshone all the other footballers in that fixture and received a match rating of 8.01 out of 10. Strizzolo scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Frosinone that ended 1-1.Cremonese are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 8 games. From these home matches, Cremonese have conceded only 7 goals.
Crotone form and stats
Crotone have only collected 1 point from their away games in the Serie B, after 0-1-6 (7 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Crotone who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Monza was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Crotone failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie B home match vs SPAL (placed 14th) that ended with defeat 1-2. Miloš Vulić got a match rating of 7.33 in that game, top player of the team. Vulić hit three key passes and had 40 successful passes (of 45 total).
A 0-1 defeat away at Ternana before that.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Crotone manager P. Marino as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Udinese.
The visitors have scored 5 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As for defending, Crotone rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 13 goals from these away matches. Crotone has visited these top teams two times, and 2 of 2 has ended with 2 goals or more!
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last six meetings: three - one - two (Cremonese wins - draws - Crotone wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.Top Goalscorers
