Cremonese form and stats

Overall Serie B stats at home this season for Cremonese are 5-4-6 (wins-draw-losses). Game days at Stadio Giovanni Zini have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Cremonese as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

Cremonese drew their last game, 3-3 away at Salernitana (placed 8th). Before that game, the home loss against Cosenza with the scoreline 0-2.

A disappointing finish for Cremonese in their match versus Salernitana as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 3-3 full time score. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Cremonese have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 20 games) they have won four times, drawn five and lost eleven.

Cremonese are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 15 games. Cremonese's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 17 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
