Bologna vs Crotone Stats
Bologna have accumulated three consecutive victories at the start of the Italian Championship, but have seen their performance fall sharply, and now they have come from three straight defeats, scoring just one goal, thus showing that there are problems to be solved in the offensive sector. This has been, in fact, the great hindrance of the team until then, since his attack is one of the least efficient, with an average of 0.81 goal per game. In the last round, the team did not have a bad performance against Roma, but finished little and without efficiency, and could not react to the goal conceded in the first half. What can explain the lack of goals is the low volume of opportunities, since the club is among the three that least complete. It is likely that coach Donadoni will keep the team in the 4-3-3, with Verdi standing out in the attack.

In the last 5 away games for the championship the Crotone has 1 tie and 4 defeats, having won 1 point in 15 possible.
For this competition, you do not win as a visitor for 5 games. Defensive solidity has not been his strong point, having conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 games for this competition. In 11 games in this competition, suffered the first goal 7 times and never managed to turn the score.
Crotone is on the pitch for this game, a little more relieved after being able to find the way to victory for the Italian Championship, thus stopping a fast that lasted four rounds, a period in which he accumulated two straight losses, not having rocked the net in any of them. At the time, the team abused the opportunism of the attackers, having only 36% possession and finished only eleven times, scoring two goals in two minutes. Looking at the numbers of the competition, it is possible to see that both sectors are leaving to be desired: the defense is the fourth more leaked, and the attack is the fourth worse, since it could not take the zero of the scoreboard in six of the eleven matches played until the moment. Like his opponent, Crotone has the worst average finish in the league, but is even weaker in the exchange of passes, which has compromised possession of the ball. The coach should not have major problems climbing the starting eleven, and will probably keep Mandragora as a midfield reference.
