Struggling Venezia will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Crotone in the upcoming league round. It’s 16th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
It's no vacation for neither Venezia nor Crotone as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Crotone, who are travelling more than 1100 kilometers to play this game.
Venezia form and stats
With 2 Serie B wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Venezia are certainly not brimming with confidence. With seven home Serie B games in a row without a win, the Venezia fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Livorno game long ago, can be stopped today.
No payout for Venezia in their previous match, an away game at Salernitana that ended in defeat 0-2. Before that, Venezia drew at home versus Cosenza.
Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Samuele Longo for missing a penalty kick versus Salernitana in the 66th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
Venezia aren't scoring a lot here at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo in the league, with only 10 goals from 13 games. Venezia's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 16 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Crotone form and stats
5 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses. That’s the product of Crotone playing as the away team in the Serie B this season.
The supporters enjoyed Crotone's previous game versus Pisa (placed 12th), a Serie B 1-0 win played at home. Preceding that game was the away victory against Virtus Entella with the score of 2-1.
The end of the last match, against Pisa, was very satisfying as Simy scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
The visiting Crotone have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 18 goals from 13 games. Crotone struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 20 goals conceded from these games.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was Crotone - Venezia 3-2, played this season. Head-2-head stats last three meetings: zero - one - two (Venezia wins - draws - Crotone wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.Top Goalscorers
