Crotone and Como are impatient to show off their new players and skills: It's the first match of the Serie B season.

This should be an absorbing fixture with lots of spark and bustle as both teams are well recovered since they last ran out on the pitch. Let's get started!

It's quite the trip for Como when visiting Crotone as the cities are 1200 kilometers apart.

Crotone form and stats

Disaster struck Crotone last season as they could not defend their status as a Serie A team. With 27 defeats from 38 games, and only 6 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Crotone are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W5 D2 L12.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Crotone's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played six games, won two matches, drawn three and lost one.

Crotone have prepared for this season with five friendly games versus mixed opposition. Results from training matches should always be treated with caution, but the takeaways from these five matches are 3 victories, 1 draws and 1 losses. In these games, Crotone have scored 38 goals and conceded 8 times.

Como form and stats

A job perfectly done for Como last season as they secured promotion from Serie C: Girone A. With a grand total of 23 wins, 6 draws and 9 defeats the season objective was secured. Of these wins, 11 were in away matches.

It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. Como have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeats from two fixtures.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last two meetings: two - zero - zero (Crotone wins - draws - Como wins). As for goals, zero matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.
