- Cremonese have struggled at home in Serie A 2025-2026, with two wins, seven draws and eight defeats in 17 home matches.
- Pisa have won the last two head-to-head clashes between the clubs in Serie A, including a 1-0 home win five months ago.
Two clubs in deep trouble
Cremonese sit 18th in Serie A with 28 points from 35 matches, while Pisa are bottom of the table in 20th spot with 18 points from the same number of games. In a relegation battle, these two clubs are scrapping at the bottom. Based on the current scenario, this Cremonese vs Pisa prediction could be pivotal for both sides in their fight to avoid the drop.
Marco Giampaolo has been in charge since March 2026 and has tried to instill his familiar tactical approach. A pragmatic 3-5-2 formation that relies on the wingbacks to provide width and a midfield line that is capable of turning on the pace and compressing the midfield when out of possession.
Charles Pickel is the dynamic midfielder who brings the energy and bite to Cremonese’s central zone and they have tried to be a more direct and vertical side when he has been on the pitch. The 3-5-2 system is compact and they have focused on making the team as compact as possible to prevent counter-attacks during Giampaolo’s tenure. They have lost their last two games, 1-2 at home to Lazio and 4-0 at Napoli.
Pisa are the most out of form side in Serie A at the moment, having failed to pick up a single point in their last five matches, a run that has included a 1-2 home defeat to Genoa, a 1-0 away defeat to Parma and a 1-2 defeat at home to Lecce last time out.
Oscar Hiljemark was appointed in February 2026 and the Swedish boss has tried to make Pisa a more organised and patient team than the one that took to the field at the start of the campaign. Pisa play a similar three-man defence to their hosts, with a strong focus on being compact, getting numbers behind the ball and creating numerical advantages in possession.
Marius Marin, the club’s captain, operates at the base of the midfield providing a defensive cover and leadership on the road. For those interested in the Cremonese vs Pisa prediction, the main attacking threat, Stefano Moreo, has scored six goals in 34 Serie A appearances in 2025-2026.
Home and away records suggest a close match
Cremonese have lost two, drawn one and won none of their last three home games in the league, while Pisa have lost both of their last two away games in Serie A.
The similarity in the tactical shape of the two sides means that Sunday’s matchup will be a battle of the wingbacks and the ability of each team to compress the central zone. Pisa have been much the worse side of late, however, so Cremonese will feel they have a great chance of getting a much-needed win. The Cremonese vs Pisa preview highlights these trends and the likely tactical battles that will play out.
The price for a Cremonese win is very short - 1.77 - so we will be looking for another way to secure value from this relegation decider. The defensive records of both sides are terrible, which points to a game where clinicality and tactical discipline could be the difference.
With both defences leaking goals and both attacks struggling for consistency, the Under 2.5 goals price of 1.77 is a good choice but we are looking for a BTTS-Yes selection that provides more value at 2.02. According to our Cremonese vs Pisa prediction, the home side average 1.5 goals when Cremonese host Pisa, while the away side average 2.0 in their last five such encounters, so we will go for BTTS-Yes in this relegation matchup. The Cremonese vs Pisa betting tips further support the idea of both teams getting on the scoresheet in what should be a tense and nervy affair.
