This match features two teams living in the basement of the Serie A, Crotone holding 20th place and Cagliari lying 18th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Crotone has the most conceded goals (55) in Serie A
- Cagliari is in the worst form (0-1-5)
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
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.
Crotone form and stats
Crotone's results here at Stadio Ezio Scida in the Serie A have been very modest with 3 victories, 1 draw and 7 defeats. It's trouble wherever Crotone are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Crotone, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
In their previous game, the manager G. Stroppa led his Crotone to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Juventus. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Ezio Scida. Ahead of that match, Crotone lost 1-2 at home to Sassuolo.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Crotone as they are travelling to their away game against Atalanta in the Serie A. That match is three days after this one.
Crotone are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 11 games. Crotone have conceded 22 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Cagliari form and stats
There's been little loot from Cagliari's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 11 away games in the Serie A. Cagliari only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 3 draws. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Cagliari, who have now gone 16 games without a victory. The Sampdoria game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. A depressing four defeats in a row for Cagliari in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Parma.
Joao Pedro was the last player to score for the away team. Cagliari haven't scored a league goal in the last 285 minutes.
Cagliari might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Torino proved too strong as Cagliari slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Sardegna Arena. A 0-1 loss hosting Atalanta before that.
After this away game Cagliari return home for a Serie A game against Bologna. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Cagliari have scored 11 goals in 11 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Cagliari struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 20 goals conceded from these games.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Cagliari - Crotone 4-2 earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last eight meetings: one - two - five (Crotone wins - draws - Cagliari wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.Top Goalscorers
