Crotone should be expected winners of this home match versus Picerno, if the league standings are to be trusted. Or could we be in for a surprise?

Insights:
  • Crotone have the most points from losing position (6) in Serie C: Girone C
  • Picerno is in the worst form (0-2-3)

11-12-13 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Picerno when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 36 matches are 37-54 (scored/conceded).

It's no vacation for neither Crotone nor Picerno 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.

Picerno form and stats

Playing away, Picerno have won 0 games, drawn 2 and suffered 3 defeats in the Serie C: Girone C this season. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Picerno's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Two away games in a row for Picerno, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Crotone.

A draw for Picerno before that, at their own venue hosting Viterbese Castrense (0-0).

The attacking power of Picerno when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 5 league matches away. Picerno's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 9 goals from these trips. Picerno has visited these top teams three times, and 2 of 3 has ended with 2 goals or more!
