Spezia are welcoming Cremonese for another important game after their 0-0 result against 16th-placed Venezia.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Cremonese's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Cremonese have performed like this: Played five matches resulting in 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats with the goal stats 2-6 (scored/conceded).
