LWDLDW ⚖
Cremonese go into this meeting following on from a 4-0 Serie B win as they beat Catanzaro in their last match.
In that match, Cremonese had 53% possession and 24 attempts on goal with 7 on target. For Cremonese, the goals were scored by Dennis Johnsen (31', 76'), Luca Ravanelli (65') and Manuel De Luca (70'). For their opponents, Catanzaro got 8 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target.
The stats tell the story, and Cremonese have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 7 goals overall. In defence, Cremonese can certainly do much better. That sort of pattern won’t necessarily be sustained here, of course.
Their prior results show that Cremonese:
- are unbeaten in their last 2 away league matches.
- are without a win away from home in their last 3 matches in the league.

Team News: Palermo
Looking at personnel, there is just a single fitness concern for the Palermo gaffer Alessio Dionisi to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Francesco Di Mariano (Meniscus injury) is out of contention.

Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Cremonese and Palermo could both end up scoring in a what should be a good tussle with little between the two teams.
There should be little in it, and a draw looks to be quite a realistic result. Our tip is therefore for a hard-fought 1-1 draw at the conclusion of the game.
