Cremonese – Hellas Verona

Cremonese host Hellas Verona in what promises to be a pivotal Serie B clash, with the home side languishing in 15th place on five points from one win, two draws and two defeats, and a goal tally of five for and seven against. Verona, perched in sixth with seven points after two victories, one draw and two losses, enjoy a modest advantage in both points and goal difference, having scored ten and conceded seven. The visitors will be keen to convert their superior form into a move up the table, while Cremonese will be desperate to halt their slide and claw back into the safety zone. Both clubs will be aware that a slip‑up could dramatically reshape the mid‑table battle as the season progresses.
