AS Roma vs FC Crotone - 09/05/2021
2599
Roma will be hoping to avoid further embarrassment when already-relegated Crotone visit Stadio Olimpico on Sunday.
Crotone find themselves 14 points from safety at the bottom of the Serie A table, with just four games left to play this term.
Meanwhile, Roma are seventh – two points ahead of eighth-place Sassuolo and nine points behind sixth-place Lazio.
Roma managed to beat Manchester United 3-2 in the Europa League on Thursday, although they lost the semi-final tie 8-5 on aggregate.
When it comes to Serie A, Roma are enjoying a remarkable run of just two defeats in their previous 20 home matches.
Having said that, the club from the capital have only managed to win one of their last eight matches in domestic competition.
AS Roma beat Bologna 1-0 last month but have suffered five defeats and two draws since beating Genoa back in early March.
It is also worth noting that Roma have lost each of their previous two Serie A matches – conceding five goals in the process.
On the flip side, Crotone have only managed to win five of their 34 Serie A games throughout the 2020/21 campaign.
Having picked up just three draws, they have suffered a whopping 26 defeats – conceding an inexcusable 85 goals along the way.
Not only have Crotone lost seven of their last eight league games, but they have also lost 14 of their previous 16.
When you consider their dismal record, it is hardly surprising that Crotone’s relegation to Serie B is already confirmed.
Head-to-head: Roma beat Crotone 3-1 earlier in the season, meaning the capital club have clinched five straight victories over Crotone.
Roma have also kept a clean sheet in four of their previous five meetings with Crotone – scoring 12 goals in reply.
Team news: Roma could be without as many as nine first-team players this weekend as the club’s injury list continues to grow.
As for Crotone, striker Samuel Di Carmine is injured, while defensive midfielder Aristoteles Romero is suspended.
Despite the guarantee of relegation, Crotone will surely be eager to finish the campaign on a positive note.
That said, there is no denying that Roma should be far too strong for the already-relegated visitors on Sunday.
Forebet predicts that Roma will score over 2.5 goals on their way to heaping yet more misery on Crotone.
