Cremonese form and stats

Cremonese's struggle is real here at Stadio Giovanni Zini with only 9 points collected from 9 Serie B games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-3-4. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Cremonese, their manager P. Bisoli and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

A strong away win for Cremonese against Pescara the last match, as Daniel Ciofani were on target. Ahead of that match, Cremonese lost 0-2 at home to Chievo.

Cremonese have scored 8 league goals here from 9 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, Cremonese have conceded 13 goals.
