Insights:
  • Crotone have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Parma have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

For Crotone relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. For Parma most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.

It's quite the trip for Parma when visiting Crotone as the cities are 1000 kilometers apart.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
