Crotone form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Crotone so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-9 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Crotone have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 14 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Parma game.

Crotone played 3-3 against Cosenza in their previous match. The attacker Marić got a match rating of 8.95 in that game. Marić scored three goals.

Prior to that match, the Crotone manager Modesto faced defeat when travelling to Lecce and losing 0-3.

The schedule is very tough for Crotone now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie B game at Pisa is waiting in only three days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Crotone as they have only managed to score 9 times from 12 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Crotone's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 22 goals from these trips.
