Game week two of the Serie B season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Pisa - Cremonese preview:
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Pisa form and stats
Pisa shared the glory with Reggiana in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Ascoli in a game that was won 1-0.
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 Pisa have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won eight, drawn two and lost three.
Last season, Pisa's league statistics were 14 wins, 12 draws and 12 losses, resulting in a 7th position in the Serie B. Over these 38 matches they scored 49 goals and conceded 45. Playing at home last season Pisa managed 10-5-4 (win-draw-lost) with 28 goals and 20 conceded.
Cremonese form and stats
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 Cittadella (placed 1st). A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Pordenone.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Cremonese playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were three Cremonese wins, five draws and five defeats.
Let's have a look at how Cremonese performed last season in the Serie B: They landed a 12th position in the league table after playing out 12 victories, 13 draws and 13 defeats. In total they scored 42 and conceded 43 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 7 and lost 7 with 20/24 goals scored/conceded.
Head 2 Head
Last four meetings between the teams: Pisa won two, Cremonese won zero and two draws. four games with over 2,5 goals, zero matches with two goals or less.Pisa missing players
