Pescara form and stats

With 2 Serie B wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Pescara are certainly not brimming with confidence. Pescara have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

Pescara are confident in defense, having played 180 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

It's back home for Pescara, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Reggiana away with the result 1-0. Gennaro Scognamiglio found the net in that victory. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Cosenza.

The Pescara fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. On the other hand, Pescara have conceded 13 goals.

Cremonese form and stats

Cremonese have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 1-3-4 (8 played). It's a growing despair in Cremonese as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

Cremonese aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 271 league minutes without a goal. D. Ciofani was the last player to find the net.

The manager P. Bisoli was unhappy after their last game, a Serie B match played at their home ground Stadio Giovanni Zini. Cremonese suffered a 0-2 loss to Chievo (placed 9th). A 0-1 defeat away at Reggina before that.

The attacking power of Cremonese when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 8 league matches away. 10 goals have been conceded by Cremonese in these games.
