Cremonese – Ascoli

Cremonese host a determined Ascoli on Saturday, hoping to turn their modest five‑point tally into something more substantial after a season that has seen them concede seven goals while scoring only five. Sitting fifth, Ascoli arrive with ten points from three victories, a draw and a single loss, and a solid +3 goal difference that underscores their attacking edge. The clash pits the league’s lower‑midfield side against a side that has already secured a win in every other fixture against teams in the bottom half, a pattern that could prove decisive. With Cremonese needing three points to climb out of the relegation zone and Ascoli eyeing a top‑four push, the match promises a tense battle for both survival and ambition.
