Crotone are welcoming Parma for another important game after their 1-3 result against 10th-placed Sampdoria.

Insights:
  • Crotone has the fewest scored goals (11) in Serie A
  • Parma have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

It's no vacation for neither Crotone nor Parma as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Parma have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Crotone form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie A this season. Crotone, who have the fewest scored goals (11) in Serie A, have only managed 1 win, 1 draw and 4 losses from their games here at Stadio Ezio Scida.

Crotone are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Sampdoria. A 0-0 draw away before that, with Udinese the opponent.

This is expected to be a close game, with Crotone perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Crotone as a small favourite), we find eight games. Crotone has won four of these, drawn two and lost two.

Crotone has scored 6 league goals at home this season, in 6 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Crotone with 12 goals conceded in these matches.

Parma form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Parma so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-3 (win-draw-lose).

Parma have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 214 minutes ago. J. Kurtic was the goal scorer.

Parma failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie A home match vs Juventus (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 0-4. Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Cagliari.

Parma lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by Parma in our archives, and the results are: one win for Parma, one draw and one defeat.

Parma are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 9 times in 6 away games so far. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Parma concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.
