Crotone at Fiorentina 1/23/21 - Serie A Picks & Predictions
Fiorentina are coming off a massive loss against Napoli and they have been really underperforming this season. They will now get a favorable match-up that could help them bounce back, as they will host bottom-feeders Crotone on Saturday. Crotone are actually coming off a big win but that was just their third of the season.
Fiorentina (4-8-6) were destroyed by a harsh 0-6 against Napoli on the road in their last match. Prior to that they met a tough elimination from the Italian Cup against Inter Milan. Fiorentina have won just one of their last five matches (1-2-2). They are now sitting at the 14th spot of the league table with 18 points, scoring 18 and conceding 29 goals in the process. They have a 3-2-4 record at home, scoring just 9 and conceding just 8 goals so far.
Crotone (3-12-3) are coming off a huge 1-4 home win over the other newcomers, Benevento. That win came after three consecutive losses, but Crotone have scored in each of their last six (2-4-0). They are still stuck at the bottom of the Serie A with just 12 points, scoring 21 and conceding 41 goals so far, the most in the league. Crotone have been really bad on the road so far (0-7-2), scoring 8 and conceding 24 goals.
Fiorentina have been really bad so far in the season, but their roster is not actually bad. They just have performance issues. If they can’t beat a struggling Crotone side (who are also very bad on the road), then there is no reason to deal with Fiorentina again this season.
