Serie B kicks off a set of midweek matches with major promotion and relegation implications. Lecce lead Serie B heading into the midweek games, but Cremonese and Pisa could overtake the Giallorossi with wins and results going their way elsewhere.
Cremonese are second in Serie B going into their match at home with Parma. The home side is just one point off of Lecce in the race for the league title. Parm are unbeaten in five of their last six games. The Crociati will make it difficult on the home side to get a win.
Cremonese are Serie B’s in-form team ahead of this week’s match. They took 15 points from the last 18 points available in Serie B. Five of their last six games ended as wins, including their last two matches.
Parma are on a decent run of form having taken nine points from the last 18 available to them. Their last three games ended without a defeat. Cremonese claimed a 2-1 win when these teams met earlier this season in Parma. Parma have lost two of their last three games against Cremonese.
Monza are battling for a Serie B promotion playoff place, while Ternana find themselves down the Serie B table. Monza are unbeaten in two straight games versus Ternana and go into Tuesday’s match aiming for a massive three points.
Ternana are unbeaten in three straight Serie B games. They took six points from the last 18 points available in Serie B. Earlier this season, Ternana managed a 1-1 draw with Monza Away.
Monza picked up 10 points from the last 18 points available in the division. They have struggled on the road in Serie B this season with just nine points from 33 points picked up. Monza’s last two away games ended in losses.
Benevento are in the hunt for a promotion playoff place. The team is seventh with 37 points from 22 matches. On Wednesday, Benevento will host Ascoli, who also have aspirations for the promotion playoffs.
