Cremonese hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 17 points and a 16th position in the Serie B table. Visiting Perugia holds 8th place with 23 pts.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Cremonese form and stats

Cremonese have collected 11 points from their Serie B home games so far after 3-2-2.

F. Migliore was the last player to score a league goal for Cremonese and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Cremonese haven't scored in 180 minutes.

The fans are hoping that Cremonese will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Serie B game against Chievo (placed 7th). Before that, Cremonese had a Coppa Italia home game versus Empoli which ended with a victory 1-0.

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 14 games. Cremonese has won 4 of these, drawn 8 and lost 2.

Cremonese have scored 5 league goals here from 7 matches, not a lot. Cremonese have only conceded 5 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 16 similar matches played by Perugia in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Perugia, 5 draws and 8 defeats.

Perugia find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 7 goals from 7 away fixtures in the league. Perugia have conceded 12 goals in these games.
