Crotone hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 15 points and a 20th position in the Serie A table. Visiting Udinese holds 12th place with 33 pts.

Insights:
  • Crotone have the most conceded goals (77) in Serie A
  • Udinese have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Udinese have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Crotone form and stats

With 4 Serie A wins, 1 draw and 9 defeats from their home games, Crotone, who have the most conceded goals (77) in Serie A, are certainly not brimming with confidence. It's trouble wherever Crotone are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

The fans are hoping that Crotone will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the Serie A game against Spezia (placed 14th). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Napoli (3-4).

The defeat against Spezia was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored two minutes into stoppage time (by M. Erlic).

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Sampdoria are coming to town in four days.

The Crotone fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 20 in 14 matches. Crotone have conceded 29 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Udinese form and stats

Udinese have only collected 15 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 3-6-6 (15 played). It's a growing despair in Udinese as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

Home advantage was not enough for Udinese in their previous game, as they lost their Serie A-match, hosting Torino, 0-1. A 2-3 defeat away at Atalanta before that.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Cagliari in just four days.

Udinese have scored 20 goals on their travels this season, from 15 away games in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Udinese have conceded 26 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
