The Serie B league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Lecce and Cremonese are placed 9th and 15th respectively.

Cremonese could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Serie B game only four sleeps ago.

Cremonese have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Lecce form and stats

A Serie B draw at home so far for Lecce. Last season their home statistics were 4 wins, 5 draws and 10 defeats from 19 matches.

Lecce are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Brescia. In the game before, an away victory match versus Ascoli with a 2-0 scoreline.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Lecce matches with similar probabilities have ended with three wins, one draw and zero defeats (from four games).

The manager E. Corini will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Cosenza in only four days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Lecce at home in the league. 0 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Cremonese form and stats

The visitors settled for one point in their first Serie B away game of the season. During their previous season 19 away games resulted in 5 wins, 7 draws and 7 defeats.

Cremonese played 0-0 against Venezia in their previous match. A 1-1 draw at Pisa's stadium before that.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Cremonese when being an outsider away as they are today, we find five matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing two and winning one game.

A new game in only four days for Cremonese, the Serie B home match versus Brescia. Busy days.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Cremonese has managed 1 goal and let in 1 from 1 match.

Head 2 Head

Lecce-Cremonese H2H statistics last four meetings regardless of arena: Lecce two wins, Cremonese one win, one draw. one of these four matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
