Cremonese vs Empoli Prediction
Cremonese Form
Cremonese suffered a couple of disappointments in their last three matches, as they were run over by Atalanta in a 1-3 defeat. Fiorentina also proved too hard to handle, as they won 0-2, before Cremonese were able to strike back last time out in a 2-3 win against Sampdoria. In their last six Serie A matches at home, Cremonese have one win, while they've drawn zero and lost five.
Empoli Form
Empoli have been all over in their last three matches across all tournaments. Against Atalanta, they came out empty-handed in a 2-1 defeat, whereafter they avenged themselves in a 1-0 win against Lecce. Their latest match saw them sharing the spoils in a 0-0 draw against AC Milan. In their last six Serie A away matches, Empoli failed to win more than once. In stead, they've drawn two and lost three, scoring four while also conceding seven times.
It seems both Empoli and Cremonese have some issues concerning their defence, as they seem to find themselves on the receiving end a bit too often lately. We believe the trend continues this coming Friday, and we are rooting for goals.
Cremonese won six points from their last seven encounters with teams from the bottom six, like their upcoming opponent. They won one, scored eight and let in 12 goals. Empoli earned 13 points from their last eight games against teams placed in the bottom six of the Serie A table. They scored ten goals in those matches, but also allowed seven goals against on their way to three wins.
