- Crotone has the fewest scored goals (6) in Serie A
- Napoli has the fewest conceded goals in the first half (2) in Serie A

Crotone form and stats
Crotone, who have the fewest scored goals (6) in Serie A, have collected 1 point from their Serie A home games so far after 0-1-3. All in all it has been a very rough period for Crotone who hasn’t won a league-game in their last ten attempts. Their previous win was against Frosinone, 131 days ago. Crotone are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stadio Ezio Scida, having lost their two previous games here.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 320 minutes without scoring a league goal. Simy was the last player to find the net.
In their previous game, the manager G. Stroppa led his Crotone to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Bologna. 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 Lazio.
Alex Cordaz had a busy but productive day in the Bologna match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.
Crotone has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 2 goals from 4 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 7 goals have been conceded.
Napoli form and stats

Napoli has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to AZ Alkmaar for a Europa League game that ended a draw (1-1). Prior to that match, a home win 4-0 against Roma in the Serie A.
A quick return to home after this game, as Napoli are hosting Real Sociedad in the Europa League only four days away.
Napoli are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 5 away goals from 4 games (in the league). Napoli have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.
