Struggling Trapani will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Crotone in the upcoming league round. It’s 19th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

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.

Trapani are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Crotone are staying put at 2nd place whatever happens for the rest of the season.

Trapani form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie B, Trapani have managed 7 wins, 6 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 18 games. After failing to beat Frosinone here at Stadio Polisportivo Provinciale, Trapani has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.

A strong away win for Trapani against Perugia the last match, as Gregorio Luperini and Fausto Grillo were on target. Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Pescara.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of F. Castori when Gregorio Luperini scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute. A late climax in the match against Perugia as the winning goal came two minutes into overtime; scored by Gregorio Luperini.

The Trapani fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 25 in 18 matches. 20 goals have been conceded.
