Reggina are welcoming Cremonese for another important game after their 1-0 result against 15th-placed Reggiana.

Insights:
  • Reggina has the most dropped points from leading position (17) in Serie B
  • Cremonese have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

It's no vacation for neither Reggina nor Cremonese as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Cremonese, who are travelling more than 1100 kilometers to play this game.

Reggina form and stats

With 2 Serie B wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Reggina are certainly not brimming with confidence. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Reggina, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

It's back home for Reggina, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Reggiana away with the result 1-0. Nicola Bellomo found the net in that victory. Preceding that game was the away draw at Vicenza that finished 1-1.

Dimitrios Stavropoulos was on the receiving end of a red card in the Reggina-Reggiana match, being sent off in the 86th minute. The game was drawn at that point, but the home side still managed to pull off a 1-0 victory. The victory against Reggiana came after Nicola Bellomo's winning goal. The Reggina manager D. Toscano was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 62nd minute.

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 Reggina have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won six, drawn one and lost two.

The Reggina fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. On the other hand, Reggina have conceded 10 goals.

Cremonese form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Cremonese so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-3 (win-draw-lose).

Cremonese's previous game was their home loss versus Monza (0-2). Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at 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 15 relevant matches. Results were four Cremonese wins, six draws and five defeats.

Cremonese find the net regularly in their away games. 7 goals from 7 away fixtures in the league. Cremonese have conceded 9 goals in these away matches.
