Crotone welcome Nuova Monterosi for another intriguing Serie C: Girone C match here at Stadio Ezio Scida.

Insights:
  • Crotone is in the best form (4-0-0) in Serie C: Girone C

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Nuova Monterosi have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 11-12-8 (win-draw-loss) from 31 matches.

It's no vacation for neither Crotone nor Nuova Monterosi 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.

Crotone form and stats

As mentioned below, Crotone are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Serie C: Girone C games. The happy trend is alive also outside their own arena as Crotone has won their last four matches.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Paolo Branduani not having conceded a league goal in 293 minutes.

Crotone's previous game was also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Nuova Monterosi (placed 10th). The home side are looking to build on that result.

In the game before, an away victory match versus Pescara with a 1-0 scoreline.

Crotone has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Nuova Monterosi form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Serie C: Girone C for Nuova Monterosi with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.

Nuova Monterosi have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 202 minutes ago. Parlati was the goal scorer.

Monterosi lost away at Crotone (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Juve Stabia.

It's early days yet, but Nuova Monterosi has scored 2 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Here's the final score when the squads played each other previously this season; Crotone - Nuova Monterosi 1-0.
