Empoli vs Cremonese Match Preview

At Stadion Carlo Castellani Empoli is going to host Cremonese.

Empoli is going to host Cremonese in α very important match for them as they are possibly facing one of their rivals in the relegation battle. Currently, Empoli is doing better than the Cremonese being in 14th place with 14 points. They have 3 wins and 5 draws along with 6 losses. 

Cremonese is in 18th place and they are one of the worst teams in the league. They are the only winless team in the Italian Serie A. Recently they started playing better with some positive results but still, they remain without a win. In the last 6 games, they have only 1 loss and 5 draws. Since the beginning of the season, they have 7 draws, and 7 losses, without a single win. The most important thing for them is that they started to play better defense as they have allowed only 3 goals in the last 4 matches. In 2 out of the last 3 matches, they kept a clean sheet, most notably in the last match against AC Milan.

Both teams are playing good defense in recent matches. Obviously, Empoli is in better form but it will be tough for them to break Cremonese. Both teams are having poor attacks and actually, they are in the bottom 3 for goals scored in the league this season. The under 2.5 goals alternative is my pick here.
