SPAL and Cremonese have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Serie B.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

SPAL can neither be promoted or relegated from Serie B. Cremonese is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

SPAL form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie B, SPAL have managed 7 wins, 6 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 18 games. We have seen two home losses in a row now for SPAL, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Preceding that match was the home game against Frosinone that was lost 0-1.

Manager M. Rastelli felt very clever after Gabriel Strefezza scored the winning goal against Reggiana, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 46th minute.

The SPAL fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 24 in 18 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 19 goals have been conceded.
