It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Cremonese and Lecce.

It's quite the trip for Lecce when visiting Cremonese as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.

Cremonese form and stats

3-4-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for Cremonese so far this season.

No payout for Cremonese in their previous match, an away game at Venezia that ended in defeat 1-3. Ahead of that match, Cremonese won a home game hosting Pisa (2-1).

The Cremonese fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 11 matches. Cremonese's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 15 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Lecce form and stats

4 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Lecce playing as the away team in the Serie B this season.

Lecce delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Brescia (placed 13th) in their previous match; a Serie B game. A loss against Ascoli was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Drawing 2-2 against Brescia after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager S. Lanna needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

Lecce has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 15 goals from 10 games. 11 goals have been conceded by Lecce in these games.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Lecce - Cremonese 2-2. As for the last five games between these two teams, there's one Cremonese victory, two draws and two Lecce wins. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.
