Cremonese welcome the visitors Palermo in the Italian Serie B – Round 21. The match will be held on Saturday, January 26th, at the Stadio Giovanni Zini (Cremona).
Cremonese cannot play equal against the leaders so far. Indeed, in the first-term match, the team managed to take points from Palermo and draw 2:2 there, but they don’t boast consistent performance. Cremonese registered a few consecutive losses, then wins and draws, and again defeats. Even on their soil, the hosts were victorious in only half of the matches. The team’s strong point is their defense which is quite solid. None of the Serie B contenders allow less at home than Cremonese do. They are quite a middle-class team, and it is unclear what to expect in the end of the campaign – Cremonese will fight either for survival or for the playoff spots.

The visitors did not increase their breakaway from the closest pursuers, moreover, they lost to Salernitana on their turf. This defeat, however, was only second in nineteen rounds. Palermo may be called the most consistent Serie B team. Above all, they are least leaking in outings, and they conceded only to the closest rival Bresсia. Overall, Palermo have got over the second division, and, in the past, only the final loss to Frosinone deprived them from the Serie A.
Given the sides’ records and table placement, it is logical to assume that Palermo are not underdogs at least in the coming encounter. They seemingly don’t need to win tomorrow, the standings density is quite high, but a point will not be a tragedy. Even competing away though, Palermo will try to outclass. The hosts are only strong against middle-class opponents and outsiders.
Prediction for the match: Palermo to win or Draw.
