Fiorentina battles relegation after horror first half of season
4 Jan
Summary
- Fiorentina sits rock-bottom with nine points after 17 games.
- Cremonese is 12th in the standings with 21 points from 17 matches.
- Fiorentina has a poor historical record against Cremonese, failing to win in eight meetings.
As 2026 begins, Fiorentina prepares for their Italian Serie A match against Cremonese, desperately seeking to improve their dire league position. The team endured a difficult first half of the season, culminating in a 1-0 defeat to Parma in their final outing of 2025. This leaves them at the bottom of the league table with just nine points from 17 games, five points adrift of safety.
Cremonese, currently 12th in the standings with 21 points, also ended 2025 with mixed results, failing to win in their last three games after securing consecutive victories in early December. Despite recent struggles for consistency, Cremonese has a strong historical advantage over Fiorentina, having not lost any of their previous eight meetings since September 1994.
With their two-decade stint in Serie A under threat, Fiorentina is motivated to turn their season around. However, given Cremonese's form and historical dominance in this fixture, a hard-fought victory is anticipated for the visitors at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
