With their 7 point advantage in the league table, Bologna fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Crotone.
- Bologna has the fewest clean sheets (0) in Serie A
- Crotone has the fewest scored goals (6) in Serie A
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Coppa Italia match only four days ago. This match was also played here at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Crotone have had more rest.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Bologna form and stats
Bologna, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Serie A, have played 4 Serie A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-0-2 (wins-draws-losses).
The Bologna fans got no joy from their last match, a Coppa Italia game also here at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara: A 2-4 defeat against Spezia (after extra-time) (placed 13th). Before that match, a Serie A win away at Sampdoria.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? The penalty miss from Musa Barrow in the defeat against Spezia (after extra-time) was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Bologna matches with similar probabilities have ended with three wins, one draw and two defeats (from six games).
Bologna are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (10 goals in 4 games). Bologna have conceded 8 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Crotone form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the fewest scored goals (6) in Serie A, on their Serie A travels is 0 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats.
Crotone aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 230 league minutes without a goal. Simy was the last player to find the net.
Crotone might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Lazio proved too strong as Crotone slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Ezio Scida. Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Torino.
It's a bit worrying for Crotone that their goalkeeper Alex Cordaz made seven saves in the Lazio game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Crotone playing away, we found one game. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and one home win.
The visiting Crotone have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 4 goals from 4 games. There are big problems for the Crotone defense as they have conceded 12 goals in 4 away games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Bologna six wins, one draw and Crotone three victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
