SPAL will host Cremonese in the 38th round of the Italian Serie B. Will the hosts be able to make it to the playoff zone and compete for promotion?
ASLEEP
SPAL could not get points for three consecutive rounds, losing in turn to Ascoli (1-2), Brescia (1-3) and Frosinone (0-1). In the last round, the team needed a victory to stay in the race for the playoffs, and it was possible to get it-with a score of 2:1, Reggiana was defeated. Now SPALA is in ninth place and 53 points, the same number of the eighth " Brescia "and the seventh"Chievo". The conditions for the passage to the playoffs are as follows: SPAL must win himself and hope that at least one of the Chievo-Brescia pair does not win.
"Cremonese"
"Cremonese" had a terrible final stretch of the season, achieving only one victory in five extreme matches. In addition to her, there were three draws and a defeat. Such a sharp decline in results is somewhat surprising, because before that, Cremonese won in four rounds, and drew in another one. The club will definitely spend the next season in Serie B, and in the final match it has no motivation, being located on the 11th line with 48 points.
Statistics and figures:
- SPAL has lost in three games out of four;
- Cremonese have won once in their last five rounds;
- In the match of the first round, SPAL and Cremonese did not reveal the strongest: 1-1.
Forecast
SPAL has not yet lost to Cremonese ,although there are few victories - only two in seven face-to-face battles. In the reporting meeting, the hosts need to increase the number of winning games in the confrontations with Cremonese in order to maintain their chances of the playoffs.
