Crotone form and stats

With 2 Serie B wins, 6 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Crotone are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The regulars are hoping that Crotone will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the game against Pisa (placed 4th). Defender Golemić got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.64/10. Golemić served one assist, hit one key pass and won 4 of 9 duels.

Prior to that, an away loss at Ascoli.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Crotone have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won three, drawn three and lost three.

Crotone are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 13 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Crotone defense is not exactly impregnable. 20 goals conceded from 13 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
