Cremonese – Mantova

Cremonese host Mantova in what promises to be a decisive clash in the league table, with the home side sitting fifteenth on five points after one win, two draws and two defeats, and a goal difference of minus two. Mantova sit comfortably in third place, boasting eleven points from three victories and two stalemates, and a healthy +5 goal margin. The gap in form is stark – Cremonese have struggled to find the net, scoring only five times while conceding seven, whereas Mantova have already netted ten and allowed just five. A positive result for Cremonese could spark a late‑season revival, but Mantova will be keen to maintain their momentum and keep the pressure on the leaders. Both teams know that the three points on offer could dramatically reshape the bottom half of the table.
