Crotone form and stats

Crotone's results here at Stadio Ezio Scida in the Serie A have been very modest with 4 victories, 1 draw and 12 defeats. The home stadium (Stadio Ezio Scida) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Crotone it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

Simy was the last player to score a league goal for Crotone and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Crotone haven't scored in 201 minutes.

In their previous game, the manager S. Cosmi led his Crotone to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Roma. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Ezio Scida. Ahead of that match, Crotone lost 0-2 at home to Inter.

Crotone were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

The manager S. Cosmi will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Benevento in only three days.

Crotone are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 21 goals in 17 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Crotone have conceded 34 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Hellas Verona form and stats

The visitors are W5-D5-L7 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A. Hellas Verona has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Hellas delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Torino (placed 15th) in their previous match; a Serie A game. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Spezia.

As mentioned above, Hellas drew the match against Torino. Manager I. Juric brought on Federico Dimarco to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

After this away game Hellas return home for a Serie A game against Bologna. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Hellas have scored 21 goals in 17 league games away. As opposed to that, Hellas have seen the ball go into their own net 22 times on the road.
