Napoli News
Napoli are winless in their last two games, and their chance at a title defence continues to slip away. They were beaten 2-0 by Lazio in their most recent outing, failing to score for the first time in 13 matches.
The Partenopei are third in the table, level on points with second-placed AC Milan and 12 adrift of leaders Inter. They have managed five wins in their last 10 matches, and only two clean sheets in that spell highlight their defensive vulnerabilities.
The result against Lazio marked a first home defeat in Serie A for Antonio Conte's side, who have won three of their last five in Naples. Four of their last five goals have also been scored in the second half, while over 2.5 goals have been produced in six of their last 10 home games.
Cremonese News
Cremonese's return to the top-flight isn't particularly going according to plan. Their battle for survival hangs in the balance, following last weekend's goalless draw against Torino.
Marco Giampaolo's men sit just outside the bottom three, thanks to a superior goal difference over 18th-placed Lecce. They have one win in their last 19 Serie A matches, scoring in five of their last 10 outings with only one clean sheet kept.
The Grigiorossi have lost eight of their last 10 away matches, conceding at least two goals in three of their last five road games. Any glimmer of hope they have going into this game is dampened by a record of four defeats in six visits to teams currently in the top seven. Meanwhile, over 2.5 games have been produced in five of their last 10.
Head to Head
Five of the last 10 meetings between these sides have ended in a win for Napoli, with Cremonese claiming two victories. The hosts are on a three-game winning streak against Cremonese in Serie A, including a 2-0 victory in the reverse fixture.
Verdict
Napoli v Cremonese
Cremonese have conceded at least twice in three of their last five travels. Backing Napoli's attack to keep the trend going is a strong play.
The last three meetings between these sides in Naples produced over 2.5 goals, and another open contest seems likely. The hosts have scored four of their last five goals after the break and are tipped for another rampant second-half display.
