Competition: Italy Serie B
Competition: Wed 16.February
Match begins: 17:30 (UTC)
Venue: Stadio Ezio Scida (16108 seats)

Crotone come from a 0-1 score against Reggina in their previous fixture, a match to remember. The next assignment is this sturdy Brescia side.

Insights:
  • Crotone have the fewest clean sheets (1) in Serie B
  • Brescia have the most points (26) away in Serie B

These teams have little in common geographically as Brescia have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Crotone form and stats

With 2 Serie B wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Crotone are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Crotone haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 181 minutes ago. Marras scored that one.

Crotone lost their last game at Reggina (placed 14th) after a 0-1 scoreline. The attacking player Marić was announced as "man of the match" for Crotone with a rating of 7.04/10. Marić dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Cittadella.

The manager Modesto will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Lecce in only four days.

Crotone are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 11 games. On the other hand, Crotone have conceded 16 goals.

Brescia form and stats

Brescia's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Brescia collect 26 points from their 11 away matches in the Serie B. 8 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). With three draws in a row for Brescia the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.

Brescia played 1-1 against Alessandria in their previous match. Midfielder Bisoli was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.4. Bisoli hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

A 0-0 draw at Cosenza's stadium before that.

After this away game Brescia return home for a Serie B game against Frosinone. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Brescia are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 19 times in 11 away games so far. It's not easy to score on Brescia as they have only conceded 8 goals from these away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

The two teams in this fixture also faced each other earlier this season: Brescia - Crotone 2-2. Data for the previous ten meetings featuring these two squads are: three wins for Crotone, four draws and three wins for Brescia. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: three games. The games between these clubs have had a tendency to be rough and physical, having seen 8 sending-offs from the last ten duels.
