Fiorentina vs Cremonese

Fiorentina will welcome Cremonese to Stadio Artemio Franchi as the two sides sit at opposite ends of the Serie A table. The hosts occupy 20th place with 9 points, while Cremonese sit 12th on 21 points.

Fiorentina's season has been defined by prolonged struggles. They have only one win from their last 17 Serie A matches, anchoring them to the foot of the table. They have lost 52% of their league games this season, underscoring the difficulty in converting performances into points.

Despite their league position, Fiorentina have enjoyed recent success in this fixture, winning their last two Serie A meetings against Cremonese. Those results offer a rare positive note in an otherwise tough campaign. Yet, those results contrast with their broader form, as they have struggled defensively and in front of goal over an extended period.

Nevertheless, the Purples will be in search of their second victory of the season on Sunday. It's a reminder that there is still fight left in a campaign that has asked a lot of them.

A 3-5-1-1 formation with Moise Kean in attack is expected here. It hints at the setup Fiorentina are counting on to reverse their fortunes.

Cremonese [WWLDL], by comparison, have enjoyed a steadier season, sitting safely in mid-table. That said, their recent league form has stalled.

They come into this match on the back of a three-game goalless run in Serie A, highlighting a downturn in attacking output. Across their last four league matches, each game has finished with under 2.5 goals, reflecting a pattern of tight, low-scoring contests.

Away from home, Cremonese’s record has been mixed. They have lost half of their last six away Serie A matches, suggesting that performances on the road remain an area of concern.

While they have generally been difficult to break down, their struggles to score in recent weeks have limited their ability to turn controlled performances into victories.

From a statistical perspective, both teams enter the fixture facing attacking challenges. Fiorentina’s lack of wins across nearly half a season has left them chasing momentum, while Cremonese’s current scoring drought has slowed their progress after a relatively stable first half of the campaign.

These shared issues have contributed to a recent trend of low goal involvement, particularly for the visitors. A 3—5—2 formation with Antonio Sanabria and Jamie Vardy in attack is expected against the Purples.
