Crotone Chievo betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This clash puts in the field two teams that have not managed to perform well in this edition of the Italian Championship, as both appear in the second half of the qualifying table. However, the situation of Chievo is more comfortable, having nine points of advantage over its opponent of this round. The home team has a hard time maintaining ball possession and has been ineffective in finishing, while its defense fails in containing counterattacks and in defending set pieces. Chievo also fails at the time of concluding, but its defense stands out in the aerial game, but struggles in the containment of counterattacks. In this way, Chievo seems to be able to win this bout, but as it plays away from home, the draw is also a good betting option.

Crotone has won only three matches during this edition of the Italian Championship, and now it is going though a very negative moment, coming from four consecutive defeats, when it scored only one goal, thus showing problems in the offensive sector. This has in fact been one of the team's major shortcommings so far in the competition since it has not score goals in nine matches and now is the third worst attack. In its last clash, the team finished half of the opponent's time, and even having a good defensive performance, but ended up defeated away from home by Sassuolo. The team has been carrying horrible numbers in the league: it is the one that misses the most passes, has the worst average ball possession, and is also the one that finishes the least. A 4-4-2 tactical formation should be the formation of choice for this bout, with highlight for Mandragora in the midfield.

Confirmed Lineup: Alex Cordaz, Mario Sampirisi, Bruno Martella, Federico Ceccherini, Arlind Ajeti, Andrea Barberis, Marcus Rohdén, Rolando Mandragora, Adrian Stoian, Marcello Trotta, Ante Budimir.
Coach: L. Zauli.

In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Internazionale, by (5‑0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Roma, by (0‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 27 conceded; against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 27 goals scored and 19 conceded.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 4 away matches. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (3 out of 8 matches).

Chievo has not been doing a great campaign in the Italian Championship, having shown a rather irregular performance so far. The team went undefeated for six rounds but now has only one win in the last seven games and has not scored in the last two. Thus, we can see that the offensive sector has been responsible for this unsatisfactory performance of the team, since it did not score goals in five games, and is now among the eight weakest of the competition.

Playing away from home, the team has won less than 40% of the points played, and in that condition it has one of the seven defenses more leaked. The coach is likely to organize the team in 4-3-1-2, highlighting the return of Hetemaj.

Confirmed Lineup: Stefano Sorrentino, Fabrizio Cacciatore, Massimo Gobbi, Dario Dainelli, Alessandro Gamberini, Samuel Bastien, Valter Birsa, Nicola Rigoni, Roberto Inglese, Riccardo Meggiorini.
