On Wednesday afternoon, Crotone host Roma at the Stadio Ezio Scida in Serie A, as the visitors look to continue a good recent run of league form.
The home team have experienced a disappointing campaign in the Italian top-flight this season, as they currently sit bottom of the table after picking up just nine points from their 15 league games so far. Despite the poor start to their league campaign, they are just two points from safety.
Giovanni Stroppa’s team have won just one of their previous four matches in Serie A, suffering a 6-2 hammering at in-form Inter last time out in the Italian top-flight.
The fact that Crotone have both the worst defence and attacks in Serie A explains why the home side are bottom of the table. Their recent generous defending has contributed to there being over 2.5 goals scored in five of their previous six Serie A matches.
Roma have been in good form of late in the Italian top-flight, winning four of their previous five games in the Italian top-flight.
The good run of recent form has moved the Giallorossi up to third place in the Serie A table, although they are still seven points behind league leaders Milan in the race for the Scudetto.
The visitors recent league games have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five outings in the Italian top-flight. Those high-scoring games may not come as much of a surprise, as only three teams have scored more goals in Serie A this season than Paulo Fonseca’s side.
Roma’s recent away record is highly inconsistent in the league, having won just two of their last five matches on their travels.
Forebet predicts that the visitors will carry on their recent good form by recording a victory in a high-scoring game to boost their position in the table.
