In the last match, they lost in an away match against Hellas Verona by (2‑1).

For the championship, Crotone won 7 points out of a possible 24, after 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses in the last 8 matches they played in their stadium. In their home league matches the most frequent final result at half-time was 0‑1 (3 out of 8 matches). The team allowed goals to the opponent in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition, so they have not been very strong defensively. There is a tendency to have goals in their home matches, since 8 of the last 8 matches they played for this competition have ended with Over 1.5 goals. In 17 matches in this tournament, they suffered the first goal 10 times and never managed to come back.
Crotone’s team arrives unmotivated for this match after a 2-1 defeat on the trip to Hellas Verona, adding the third consecutive defeat in the Italian championship: the only goal of the team was signed by Junior Messias. In this match against Benevento, coach Giovanni Stroppa must keep the team at 3-5-2 favoring the defensive organization and the counter-attacks of the runners. We emphasize that the home team has competence in the defense-offense transition. Junior Messias is Crotone’s top scorer with 6 goals scored. For this match, the local team does not have Arkadiusz Reca, suspended, as well as Salvatore Molina, Luca Marrone, Benali and Luca Cigarini, these with physical problems.

In their last match, they lost to Atalanta at home by (1‑4), after having won away in the previous match, in a match against Cagliari, by (1‑2). This is a team that curiously tends to achieve more positive results as a visitor than at home, since in the last 30 games they have registered 7 victories, 3 draws and 5 defeats as a visitor, with 19 goals scored and 21 suffered; against 5 victories, 3 draws and 7 defeats in his stadium, with 18 goals scored and 26 suffered. In their last 8 away games for the championship, Benevento has recorded 4 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, for which they have won 13 points out of 24 possible. His attack has scored regularly, as he has scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition.

In the last 20 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 11 of their 30 goals between minutes (31’ ‑ 45 ‘).
Benevento enters this game with a defeat, 1-4, against Atalanta, registering the second loss in the last three games played in Serie A: the only goal for the team was signed by Marco Sal. In this away game , Coach Filippo Inzaghi should align his team at 4-3-3 favoring the maintenance of ball possession and supported attacks: Artur Ionita will be the main responsible for creating and organizing the offensive process. Gianluca Lapadula is one of Benenvento’s best scorers with 3 goals scored. Outside of this match are Gianluca Caprari, Gaetano Letizia, Iago Falqué and Luca Caldirola, all with physical problems.
