Serie B: Crotone are 23 points behind Ternana, but are psyched to go all in. Let's get started!

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

Crotone have less rest than Ternana in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Serie B game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Vicenza, so at least Crotone are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Crotone form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie B, Crotone have managed 3 wins, 8 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 16 games.

The Crotone coach Modesto and his crew return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Vicenza (placed 17th). The gifted forward Marras outperformed all the other players in that fixture and got a match rating of 7.52 out of 10. Marras scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 26 successful passes (of 31 total).

Before that, Crotone drew at home versus Perugia.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Crotone have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won three, drawn five and lost three.

Crotone are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 16 games. Crotone have conceded 21 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Ternana form and stats

Playing away, Ternana have won 4 games, drawn 7 and suffered 5 defeats in the Serie B this season.

This fixture can not go any worse than the previous one, the home loss versus Lecce with 1-4 on the scoreboard. Defender Bogdan was the best team player with a rating of 7.42. Bogdan scored one goal and won 5 of 9 duels.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Cittadella with the score of 2-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Ternana playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were four Ternana wins, one draw and three defeats.

Ternana have scored 23 goals on their travels this season, from 16 away games in the league. Ternana's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 28 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, six matches with two goals or less.
