Competition: Italy Serie B
Competition: Fri 24.July
Match begins: 16:45 (UTC)
Venue: Stadio Armando Picchi (19801 seats)

The visiting Crotone side should be favourites in this visit to Livorno, as the away team holds a 41 point advantage from their 35 league games this season.

Livorno and Crotone should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

These teams have little in common geographically as Crotone have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

For Livorno relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. Crotone are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Livorno form and stats

With 3 Serie B wins, 2 draws and 12 defeats from their home games, Livorno, who have the most conceded goals (35) at home in Serie B, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Livorno are slowly digging their own grave here at Stadio Armando Picchi with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eleven attempts. The last victory here came in the Juve Stabia match. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Livorno with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Juve Stabia game, 27 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

There will be little rest for Livorno after this match as they are travelling to Pescara for a Serie B game in only two days.

Livorno has scored 18 league goals at home this season, in 17 matches. Livorno are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (35 from 17 played).

Crotone delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Salernitana (placed 7th) in their previous match; a Serie B game. Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Pordenone.

A quick return to home after this game, as Crotone are hosting Frosinone in the Serie B only two days away.

Crotone have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 17 league away games 25 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Crotone have seen the ball go into their own net 23 times on the road.
