Pisa vs Cremonese Prediction

Right then, let's have a proper look at this one. Pisa are in a right old mess at the bottom of the table, still without a win after 10 games. The lads have drawn 6 times, which tells you they're not getting battered every week, but crikey, they can't buy a goal at home. Five home games, ZERO goals scored. That's not just bad, that's relegation-form bad.

Cremonese, on the other hand, are sitting pretty in 10th place. They've been decent on their travels too - won half of their last four away games and are scoring 1.5 goals per game away from home. They're not world-beaters, but they know where the net is, which is more than we can say for Pisa at the moment.

Looking at recent results, Pisa have been frustrating their fans with draws against the likes of Torino (2-2), Lazio (0-0), and even AC Milan (2-2). But they also got hammered 4-0 by Bologna, which shows when things go wrong, they go really wrong. The problem is clear - at home, they're just not creating chances. Only 1.6 shots on target per game at home? That's Sunday league stuff, that is.

Cremonese have been grinding out results. A nice 2-0 win at Genoa shows they can travel, and draws with Atalanta and Udinese prove they're no mugs. Yeah, they lost to Juventus and got spanked by Inter, but those are top sides.

The head-to-head suggests Pisa usually do okay against these lot (unbeaten at home historically), but form over history, mate. Pisa haven't scored at home in five matches. FIVE! That's the stat that jumps out and smacks you in the face.

Both teams to score? I'm not having it. Not when Pisa's home attack has gone completely missing. Cremonese will probably score, but getting two goals in this game? Seems unlikely to me.
