Cremonese – Palermo

Cremonese will host league leaders Palermo in what promises to be a stark contrast of form. Sitting fifth with just five points from one win, two draws and two defeats, Cremonese have struggled offensively, netting only five goals while conceding seven. Palermo, perched at the summit on 13 points after an unbeaten run of four victories and a draw, boast a healthy +5 goal difference, having scored ten and let in five. The gap in the table and recent head‑to‑head records suggest Palermo will enter the match as clear favourites, but Cremonese’s home advantage could still provide a platform for an upset.
