Cremonski with a handicap (0)

Cremonese loses the season and is likely to be relegated to Serie B. Davide Ballardini’s team is unable to show the required level of competition both in front of their own goal and in front of the goals of others. Of course, sometimes he can surprise, but only thanks to a happy coincidence. Like in the last match against Sampdoria (3:2), where they lost xg (1.3:2.1).

The main problem of the “gray-reds” is defense. In terms of the expected number of goals conceded (xga = 1.8), they are second to last in Serie A.

Empoli also cannot boast of stable results and is satisfied with only single successful matches. From a game point of view, Paolo Zanetti’s team fares even worse than Cremonese. According to the expected created (xT = 1.18) threat, it ranks 3rd from the bottom, and according to the assigned (xTA = 1.68) it ranks last. Despite this, Błękitni managed to score 32 points and break out of the relegation zone by 10 points. They managed to achieve such a result largely thanks to the good play on their pitch, where they scored 60% of the points.

Empoli are heading into the upcoming fixture with a 5-game unbeaten streak on the road.

I suspect the Cremonese will be able to impose a fight against an equal opponent in their field and will be closer to victory.
