Fiorentina's Struggles: A Serie A Clash Against Cremonese - Can the Home Side Rebound?

Fiorentina has had a dismal season, currently bottom of the league with only one victory in 17 matches. Their home win rate is a mere 12.5%. While the attack shows some potential, the defence is significantly flawed, conceding 15 goals in the last 10 games. The team faces major injury problems. Defenders Mari and Lamptey, midfielders Fazzini and Richardson, and forward Kean are all sidelined due to injury, further weakening the defensive line. Cremonese sits in mid-table and has shown stability away from home. Their defence has been resilient, conceding only 11 goals in the last 10 matches. However, their attacking efficiency is average, and they have a poor head-to-head record against Fiorentina, losing all of their last four encounters. Their injury situation is relatively light, with only midfielder Collocolo absent. Fiorentina historically holds a significant advantage, winning three, drawing one, and losing one of their last five meetings, including four consecutive wins. However, their performance has dramatically declined this season, placing them at the bottom of the league with a broken defensive system and numerous injuries, particularly in the backline. This severely impacts their overall strength compared to their historical form. In contrast, Cremonese's away form this season is even better than Fiorentina's home win percentage, with a much-improved defensive performance. With a relatively complete squad, Cremonese has the potential to employ a defensive counter-attacking strategy away from home. Overall, Fiorentina's fragile defence and poor form make a significant victory unlikely. Cremonese, with its solid away defence and tactical execution, is likely to keep the match competitive until the final whistle. Score prediction: 1-1
