Crotone hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 15 points and a 20th position in the Serie A table. Visiting Bologna holds 12th place with 31 pts.

Insights:
  • Crotone have the most conceded goals (67) in Serie A

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

Bologna have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Crotone form and stats

With 4 Serie A wins, 1 draw and 8 defeats from their home games, Crotone, who have the most conceded goals (67) in Serie A, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The fans are hoping that Crotone will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the Serie A game against Lazio (placed 7th). Before that game, the 4-2 home victory against Torino.

The Crotone fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 13 matches. Crotone are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (26 from 13 played).

Bologna form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Bologna so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-8 (win-draw-lose). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Bologna have lost on their last two travels.

Bologna won their last game, 3-1 versus Sampdoria played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Napoli wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

The visitors have scored 12 goals from 14 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Bologna have conceded 21 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Bologna - Crotone 1-0 played earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Crotone, zero draws and seven wins for Bologna. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
