Cremonese face a must-win scenario in their fight for survival as they host defensively solid Lazio in Serie A.
The hosts' struggles continued with a heavy 4-0 defeat to Napoli, leaving them just four points from safety after Lecce defeated Pisa on Friday to extend the point gap.
Their form has been alarming, with only one win in their last 20 league matches, and their attacking issues are just as concerning.
With three of their final four fixtures at home, survival hopes may hinge on results at the Stadio Giovanni Zini.
However, they have managed just two wins all season, with their last home victory dating back to December.
Lazio, meanwhile, arrive with momentum despite a dramatic 3-3 draw against Udinese, where they twice came from behind and scored a stoppage-time equaliser.
Maurizio Sarri’s side has lost just once in their last nine matches, though their focus may partly be on the upcoming Coppa Italia final against Inter Milan.
Lazio’s defensive strength on the road stands out, having conceded only one goal in their last three league games.
Their attacking threat has also been good in recent weeks, having only failed to score in just one game in their last five across all competitions.
