Cremonese will welcome Monza to the Stadio Giovanni Zini in Serie A on Saturday (January 14).

The hosts’ campaign is getting gloomier by the day, as they're winless in 17 games. Cremonese are struggling as basement dwellers with a paltry seven points following their promotion to the top flight.

La Cremo beat Monza 3-2 in their last meeting in February but have tasted defeat a few times. However, the visitors are not a formidable opposition based on current form. Cremonese gaffer Paolo Rossi will hope to generate some positive headlines from the meeting after many unsavoury reviews in the media.

Monza, though, are faring better than Cremonese but are not having a spectacular Serie A campaign. They're 15th with 18 points, two places above the relegation zone. They boast five wins in 17 games, losing nine and drawing three. The visitors could move to 11th with a win and results elsewhere.

Tipped to crumble against Inter Milan in their last outing, I Biancorossi held their own in a 2-2 draw. They also played out a 1-1 draw against Fiorentina in their previous game. However, Monza have been disappointing on their travels, recording just one win in eight games.
