Crotone form and stats

Crotone, who have the most conceded goals (41) in Serie A, have only collected 2 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 0-2-7 (9 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Crotone have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Livorno game.

Crotone had fun at their own home (Stadio Artemio Franchi) last time out, beating Benevento 4-1. Miloš Vulić and Simy (2) scored. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Hellas Verona wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Crotone playing away, we found three games. Results were zero away wins, one draw and two home wins.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Crotone as they have only managed to score 8 times from 9 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Crotone concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.

Head 2 Head

Last four meetings between the teams: Fiorentina won two, Crotone won one and one draw. one game with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.
