Cremonese form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie B, Cremonese have managed 6 wins, 5 draws and suffered 6 defeats from 17 games.

Cremonese faced defeat in their previous match, away at Monza (1-2). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Empoli that ended 2-2.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Cremonese have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won two, drawn five and lost two.

The manager F. Pecchia will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Chievo in only three days.

The Cremonese fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 23 in 17 matches. Cremonese's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 21 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
