US Cremonese face a must-win Serie A clash against already relegated Pisa SC as they attempt to keep their survival hopes alive.

Cremonese head into this encounter under immense pressure after suffering a painful 2-1 defeat against SS Lazio last time out. The Grigiorossi have now lost four of their last five league matches and sit four points from safety with only a handful of games remaining.

Marco Giampaolo’s side know anything less than victory could effectively end their Serie A survival hopes. However, their home form remains a major concern after failing to win any of their last ten matches at the Stadio Giovanni Zini.

Pisa, meanwhile, have already been mathematically relegated following their recent defeat to US Lecce. The visitors endured a difficult return to the top flight and have now lost six consecutive league games.

Despite their poor overall campaign, Pisa have previously enjoyed success against Cremonese in recent meetings and will still be eager to avoid finishing bottom of the table.

Team News

Cremonese are monitoring the fitness of Federico Baschirotto after the defender was forced off injured against Lazio. Federico Bonazzoli is expected to continue leading the attack as the hosts desperately chase survival points.

Pisa appear to have no major fresh injury concerns ahead of the trip. Mehdi Léris should retain his place after remaining one of the team’s more dangerous attacking players in recent weeks.

Head-to-Head Record

Pisa won the reverse fixture 1-0 earlier this season and have won each of the last three meetings between the clubs. However, many of their recent encounters previously came in Serie B competition.

Key Players to Watch

Federico Bonazzoli – Cremonese

Bonazzoli remains Cremonese’s key attacking threat, with six of his eight league goals this season arriving after half-time.

Mehdi Léris – Pisa

Léris has scored both of his Serie A goals this season to level matches at 1-1 and remains one of Pisa’s few creative sparks.
