The visiting Crotone side should be favourites in this visit to Ascoli, as the away team holds a 19 point advantage from their 30 league games this season.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ascoli and Crotone.
Ascoli form and stats
When playing at home in the Serie B, Ascoli have managed 7 wins, 3 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 14 games. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Ascoli with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Chievo game, 117 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The Ascoli manager D. Dionigi might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
The fans are hoping that Ascoli will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Serie B game against Venezia (placed 14th). Preceding that match was the home game against Perugia that was lost 0-1.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Ascoli as they are travelling to their away game against Cosenza in the Serie B. That match is four days after this one.
The Ascoli fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 20 in 14 matches. Ascoli have conceded 15 in these home matches.
Crotone form and stats
As the visiting team in Serie B matches, Crotone have produced an overall stat of 6-2-7 so far.
Crotone are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Perugia (placed 12th). A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Chievo.
A quick return to home after this game, as Crotone are hosting Benevento in the Serie B only four days away.
Crotone are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 21 away goals from 15 games (in the league). Crotone have conceded 21 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Crotone - Ascoli 3-1. Ascoli-Crotone H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Ascoli four wins, Crotone six wins, zero draws. five of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Top Goalscorers
