Crotone form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie A this season. Crotone, who have the most conceded goals (79) in Serie A, have only managed 4 wins, 1 draw and 10 losses from their games here at Stadio Ezio Scida. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Crotone with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Torino game, 45 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Crotone, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Heartbreak before that as Crotone lost 2-3 at Spezia's place.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Crotone as they are travelling to their away game against Parma 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 21 goals in 15 games. Crotone have conceded 31 goals in these home games, a significant number.
