Crotone Preview – Another harming loss for the Sharks?
Since gaining promotion to the top tier as runners-up of Serie B, Crotone have found Serie A life tough going so far. Giovanni Stroppa’s troops have picked up just two wins from 15 league matches, losing ten and drawing three of the other 13.
The Sharks are rooted to the foot of the Serie A table as we approach the halfway point of the season. A few days before Christmas, Crotone beat Parma to secure their second Serie A success of the season. However, they were brought back down to earth with a bump last Sunday, losing 6-2 to high-flying Inter Milan in the San Siro.
Crotone have won their last two home league games. Before beating Parma, Stroppa’s side thumped Spezia 4-1 at the Ezio Scida, with Junior Messias (2), Arkadiusz Reca and Eduardo Henrique getting the goals in the romp. Can they cause a huge upset on home turf this Wednesday?
Roma Preview – Fonseca’s men to ease to victory?
Paulo Fonseca’s Roma are currently in the UEFA Champions League places in Serie A. After 15 games played, the Yellow and Reds are nicely placed in fourth, taking 30 points along the way. Overall, Roma have won nine, drawn three and lost three.
The club from the Italian capital made a good start to 2021, with a goal from Edin Dzeko giving them a 1-0 home win over Sampdoria last weekend. That was Roma’s fourth win in five Serie A matches. Ahead of this round of fixtures, the Magic One are just seven points away from league leaders AC Milan.
