This Sunday, the Stadio Giovanni Zini sets the stage for a crucial Serie A showdown as Cremonese host Pisa in Matchweek 36. With both teams fighting near the bottom of the table, every point matters in this relegation six-pointer. Kick-off is at 14:00, live on DAZN.

Cremonese currently sit in 18th place with 28 points, just outside the drop zone but far from safe. Davide Nicola's side are desperate to turn things around after a 2-1 loss to Lazio last time out. However, their home form has been a major concern—they've managed just one win in their last 16 matches at the Zini, and overall they've only won once in their last 21 league outings. They're also on a two-match losing streak heading into this fixture.

Pisa, meanwhile, are rooted to the bottom of the table in 20th position with just 18 points. Oscar Hiljemark's men have endured a nightmare campaign, suffering a 2-1 defeat to Lecce in their most recent match. Their away record is particularly alarming: they are winless in 19 consecutive road games, have lost their last five on the trot, and have conceded in five straight away matches. Overall, Pisa have won just once in their last 24 Serie A matches and are currently on a six-game losing streak, having conceded in 11 consecutive games.

History favors Pisa in this head-to-head, as they won the last meeting 1-0. However, given their current form, that might feel like a distant memory. Cremonese will be eager to end their own poor run and climb away from danger, while Pisa are fighting for survival with time running out.

Here are the expected lineups for Sunday's clash:

Cremonese: Emil Audero; Filippo Terracciano, Matteo Bianchetti, Sebastiano Luperto, Giuseppe Pezzella; Romano Mussolini, Alberto Grassi, Youssef Maleh; Alessio Zerbin, Tonny Sanabria, Federico Bonazzoli

Pisa: Adrian Semper; Simone Canestrelli, Antonio Caracciolo, Rosen Bozhinov; Mehdi Léris, Ebenezer Akinsanmiro, Isak Vural, Michel Aebischer, Samuele Angori; Filip Stojilkovic, Stefano Moreo

With both teams desperate for points and momentum, expect a tense, high-stakes battle at the Zini. Will Cremonese finally find a spark at home, or can Pisa end their long winless drought on the road? All eyes will be on Cremona this Sunday.
