Crotone vs Lazio Prediction & Betting tips
Lazio is the first to come back into action after the international break and does so on a visit to Crotone. Crotone is stiff last with only two points from seven games, what are their chances against the Romans?
Crotone:
Crotone is the only team in Serie A that has not yet managed to score a single victory. The club from Southern Italy took a point against the two teams from Turin, the other five matches were lost. The two draws against Torino and Juventus in the past month offer hope, in addition, Atalanta only managed to beat Crotone 2-1 despite a great preponderance of opportunities. What is striking about the five defeats is that Crotone was already at a disadvantage at halftime and was unable to correct this in the second half.
This weekend, Stroppa is missing at least one defender. Sebastiano Luperto, who came from Napoli, took his second yellow card against Torino just before time and is therefore suspended. In addition, attacker Emmanuel Riviere is still missing. He scored thirteen times in Serie B for Cosenza last season and also scored his goal on his debut for Crotone. In the meantime, he came in again for two minutes, but then sustained another injury during training. In terms of goals, it must therefore come mainly from striker Simy, the Nigerian striker made three of Crotone’s six goals this season.
Lazio:
Lazio has managed to recover nicely since the 3-0 defeat against Sampdoria. Despite many absent players due to positive tests, the team from Rome has not lost a single game since then. In the Champions League, Borussia Dortmund was won and a draw against Club Brugge and Zenit, in the competition, Bologna and Torino were won and a draw against Juventus. Meanwhile, a true soap was taking place at the biancocelesti. Striker Ciro Immobile tested positive for the match against Bruges and tested negative for COVID-19 for a few days before the match against Torino. He then tested positive again at UEFA for the match against Zenit, prompting an investigation into whether the Romans have tampered with the tests.
The big man in the absence of top scorer Immobile is Felipe Caicedo. The Ecuadorian has scored three duels in a row while each time he had to start from the bench. Trainer Simone Inzaghi has always composed the duo Vedat Muriqi-Joaquin Correa, who only scored once this season. Before the international break, Caicedo was the hero by shooting in the 1-1 against Juventus in the last minute after a good lead from Correa. Immobile tested positive again this week, can we finally expect Caicedo next to Correa?
