Crotone form and stats
With 1 Serie B win, 3 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Crotone are certainly not brimming with confidence. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Crotone to get some points in this home game.
Crotone are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Frosinone. The defeat against Frosinone was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored three minutes into stoppage time (by E. Cicerelli). Attacking player Mirko Marić bested all the other players in that fixture and managed a match rating of 7.85 out of 10. Marić scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Benevento (0-2).This is expected to be a close game, with Crotone perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Crotone as a small favourite), we find seven games. Crotone has won three of these, drawn three and lost one.
