Empoli Serie A form: Cremonese Serie A form: Cremonese form (all competitions): Team News Empoli will remain without Mattia Destro and Koni De Winter due to muscle strains, while Lorenzo Tonelli is doubtful having only recently returned to light training following an ACL injury. Luperto will also miss out through suspension after being sent off for two bookable offences against Napoli on Tuesday, with Sebastian Walukiewicz most likely to replace him at centre-back.
Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches on their travels. Having drawn their last 4 league games away from home and having not won any of their last 7, Grigiorossi will be keen to grab all 3 points in this fixture. On an individual basis, David Okereke will be looking to cause Empoli some problems having scored 2 goals in Cremonese's last 6 away games in the league. Head to headIn the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 2-2 draw.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form at Stadio Carlo Castellani, having lost 3 of their last 6 home games and picking up only 2 wins. Cremonese, Recent FormA 0-0 draw against AC Milan will be viewed as a positive outcome for Cremonese and a valuable point into the bargain. In that game they had 27% possession and managed 6 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to AC Milan who had 16 attempts and 5 on target. They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 9 and seen valuable points lost.
Preview: Empoli vs. Cremonese - prediction, team newsSports Mole previews Friday's Serie A clash between Empoli and Cremonese, including predictions, team news and possible lineups. Cremonese could move outside of the relegation zone by beating Empoli in Serie A on Friday night. Empoli, meanwhile, will be aiming to return to winning ways having lost three of their last four matches. Match preview © Reuters Admittedly, those defeats have come against three of the division's top five teams in the shape of Juventus, Atalanta, and the league leaders Napoli on Tuesday evening. Paolo Zanetti's side managed to keep their opponents out until the 69th minute at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, with Hirving Lozano dispatching his penalty before Piotr Zielinski ensured that his side won for the 10th successive time in Serie A after Sebastiano Luperto had been given his marching orders with 15 minutes remaining.
Cremonese, meanwhile, are expected to travel without Cyriel Dessers, Ionut Radu and Vlad Chiriches, with the recently injured trio unlikely to be risked in the last game before the World Cup. Alvini is unlikely to make any changes to the starting XI which claimed a hugely creditable point against Milan in midweek, although he will certainly be demanding more attacking bravery as they look to end their search for a victory. Empoli possible starting lineup:Vicario; Stojanovic, Ismajli, Walukiewicz, Parisi; Haas, Marin, Bandinelli; Baldanzi; Satriano, Bajrami Cremonese possible starting lineup:Carnesecchi; Aiwu, Bianchetti, Vasquez; Ghiglione, Escalante, Castagnetti, Meite, Valeri; Ciofani, Afena-Gyan We say: Empoli 0-0 Cremonese Two of Cremonese's last three matches have finished goalless, and we can envisage that same scoreline occurring once again on Friday night.
