Crotone form and stats

Crotone have been very solid at home in the Serie C: Girone C so far, with 28 points collected from 10 matches (9-1-0). This has contributed greatly to their 2nd position in the table.

Crotone are returning here after visiting Monopoli and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Chiricò and Vitale scored the goal(s).

Before that, Crotone had a home game versus Messina which ended with a victory 1-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Crotone have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 4 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.

A decent goal production from Crotone in their home games so far, with 15 goals from 10 league matches. Defensively Crotone have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (2 in 10 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Pescara form and stats

Pescara's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Pescara collect 22 points from their 10 away matches in the Serie C: Girone C. 7 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 2 defeats).

Pescara played 2-2 against Latina in their previous match. Drawing 2-2 against Latina after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Colombo needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Avellino wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Pescara are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats. From a total of 6 matches.

As opposed to that, Pescara have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

It's not the first time these sides meet on the pitch this campaign, as the statistics show this recent game: Pescara - Crotone 0-1. Data for the prior ten meetings between these two squads are: six wins for Crotone, zero draws and four wins for Pescara. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: three games. The matches between these clubs have sometimes been aggressive, having seen 6 red cards from the last ten encounters.
