Crotone and Cosenza club members eagerly anticipate Serie B bout at Stadio Ezio Scida

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 5 defeats from their home games, Crotone are certainly not brimming with confidence. Crotone has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Modesto and the players.

Crotone haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 361 minutes ago. Marras scored that one.

Crotone are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Lecce. Midfielder Giannotti was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.42 (out of ten) in that game. Giannotti hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Preceding that match was the home game against Brescia that was lost 0-1.

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

The Crotone fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 12 matches. 17 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Cosenza form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Cosenza so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 0-5-7 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Cosenza have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone twelve consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Ascoli game.

Cosenza are travelling again after losing away to Como in their previous match (1-2). The attacker Caso got a match rating of 7.61 in that game. Caso scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 4 of 4 times.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Perugia.

Cosenza are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, seven draws and seven defeats. From a total of 16 matches.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Alessandria in just three days.

The attacking power of Cosenza when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 12 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Cosenza have conceded 23 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
