It's early days in the Serie B and both Frosinone and Cremonese are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Coppa Italia. That game, against Cagliari, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Cremonese.
Frosinone form and stats
1 victory, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That’s what Frosinone, who have the most clean sheets (4) in Serie B, have to build on here at Stadio Benito Stirpe in the Serie B.
The Frosinone goalkeeper Francesco Bardi is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 393 minutes without conceding a goal in the Serie B.
Frosinone enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Pescara's place. The match ended 2-0 with Andrija Novakovich and Camillo Ciano scoring. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Virtus Entella.
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 Frosinone have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost three.
The lack of attacking qualities in Frosinone means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Frosinone are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadio Benito Stirpe in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.
Cremonese form and stats
Cremonese are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Serie B, having played 2 games and collected 2 points (0 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses). With three draws in a row for Cremonese the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment. Two points from the last two away games for Cremonese, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.
Cremonese has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Cagliari for a Coppa Italia game that ended a draw (0-0). A 2-2 draw at Lecce's stadium before that.
We have checked recent matches where Cremonese have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 16 games were two victories, six draws and eight defeats.
It's early days yet, but Cremonese has scored 3 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last six meetings: zero - three - three (Frosinone wins - draws - Cremonese wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.Top Goalscorers
