Cremonese vs Pisa Prediction, Match preview and Lineups — 10 May 2026
On May 10, 2026, in Matchday 36 of the Serie A season, Cremonese will host Pisa. Let’s take a closer look at the potential outcome of this clash.
Match preview
Cremonese come into this match in very poor form. The team are now winless in their last five matches, suffering four defeats and one draw during that run. They have lost their last two games, first falling 0-4 to Napoli and then suffering a 1-2 home defeat against Lazio. Those recent defeats also highlight the growing pressure on the team, with Cremonese increasingly forced to take risks in search of points.
In the league standings, Cremonese currently sit in the relegation zone in 18th place. They are four points away from safety with only three rounds remaining, meaning their chances of survival are still mathematically alive, but the margin for error is extremely small.
At home, Cremonese have also struggled throughout the season, recording just 2 wins, 7 draws, and 8 defeats. Another major issue has been their defensive weakness, as the team possess one of the worst defensive records in the league, conceding 53 goals in 35 matches. Their recent matches have become much more open due to this defensive instability, especially against teams willing to attack on transitions.
Their home form has been especially worrying recently, with Cremonese now on a ten-match winless streak at their own stadium.
As for meetings against Pisa, recent encounters between the teams have been very competitive and entertaining. In the last five home matches against Pisa, both sides have recorded two wins each, while one match ended in a draw. Notably, both teams scored in all five of those games, and four of them finished with over 2.5 goals. This fixture has consistently produced open football in recent seasons, with neither side managing to fully control games defensively.
Pisa’s situation is even more critical. The team are currently on a six-match losing streak, and their overall form has been disastrous, with 10 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 11 matches. This terrible run has effectively ended their hopes of survival, meaning that after spending only one season in Serie A, Pisa are set to return to Serie B.
Away from home, the team have been especially poor, failing to win a single away match this season, recording only 8 draws and 9 defeats. Defensive problems have also been evident, as Pisa have conceded in each of their last 11 games. With relegation already confirmed, Pisa could also play with less pressure here, which often leads to more open matches late in the season.
Their recent matches have often been high-scoring as well, with 6 of the last 8 games finishing with over 2.5 goals.
When it comes to head-to-head meetings, Pisa have held a slight advantage in recent encounters, winning three consecutive matches against Cremonese. Overall, in the last 10 meetings between the sides, Pisa have recorded 4 wins, while 4 matches ended in draws and Cremonese managed just 2 victories.

- Cremonese: Audero, Terracciano, Luperto, Bianchetti, Pezzella, Zerbin, Grassi, Maleh, Floriani, Bonazzoli, Vardy

Key Facts and Head-to-Head

- Pisa have lost 10 of their last 11 matches.
- 6 of Pisa’s last 8 matches have seen over 2.5 goals.
- 3 of the last 4 head-to-head meetings have seen over 2.5 goals.
- In 3 of the last 4 head-to-head meetings, both teams scored.
Prediction
Both teams come into this match in extremely poor form and desperately need a positive result. Cremonese still have a mathematical chance to avoid relegation, which makes this game crucial for them with only a few rounds remaining. Pisa, meanwhile, no longer have realistic survival hopes, but the team will still be motivated to end the season on a positive note and finally secure their first away win of the campaign. Defensive problems have been a major issue for both sides throughout the season, and recent matches involving these teams have often produced goals. Head-to-head meetings at Cremonese’s stadium have also traditionally been open and entertaining. Cremonese are now in a situation where only victories matter, meaning the hosts are unlikely to approach this match cautiously, especially against one of the weakest away sides in the league. That aggressive approach could easily create an open game with chances at both ends. Pisa’s defensive collapse in recent weeks also strengthens the over scenario, with the visitors conceding consistently and entering this match on a long losing streak with very little defensive confidence remaining. Considering the importance of the match for the hosts, the poor defensive records of both teams, and the attacking nature of recent meetings, this game has strong potential to be open and high-scoring. Recommended bet: Over 2.5 goals — 2.15
