National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Crotone or SPAL that keep their silverware dream alive.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
These teams have little in common geographically as SPAL have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Crotone form and stats
Last season, Crotone's Coppa Italia journey ended in the 3rd round.Two Serie A home games so far for Crotone, who are yet to win here at Stadio Ezio Scida. Only 1 point so far.
Crotone are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-4 away versus Cagliari. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Juventus that ended 1-1.
A goal frenzy last time out for Crotone, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Cagliari. Fun stuff to watch!
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie A game versus Atalanta in only three days. This game is also played here at Stadio Ezio Scida.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Crotone at home in the league. 1 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
SPAL form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Bari 1908 in order to reach 3rd Round of Coppa Italia. SPAL's mission in Coppa Italia last season failed in the 8th finals.Still no away game victory in the Serie B for SPAL with 2 draws and 1 loss from their first 3 attempts.
The supporters enjoyed SPAL's previous game versus Vicenza, a Serie B 3-2 win played at home. Prior to that match, the SPAL manager P. Marino faced defeat when travelling to Empoli and losing 1-2.
The end of the last match, against Vicenza, was very satisfying as Lucas Castro scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
SPAL has another fixture away, a Serie B game, against Reggina in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far SPAL have scored 4 goals in 3 league games away. SPAL struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 5 goals conceded from these games.
