Entella are also aiming for the place in Serie A but they need to be the best team in the playoffs if they want to start next season in elite division. The Black Devils are currently on the eighth place in the Serie B standings with 64 points and 51-39 aggregate goal difference. If the visiting side keeps this place they should take part in the playoffs with five other teams for the third ticket to Serie A. Alfredo Aglietti’s men are quite inconsistent on the road with 21 points gained in 20 matches with 15-24 goal difference.
Crotone and Entella have played only three head-to-heads in their history. Two of these matches ended win draws while the reverse fixture ended with 2-1 away win of Crotone. The hosts of the match have no objectives remaining while the result of the match is important for the visitors as they can lose their place in playoffs. Sharks are giving away points in recent matches and it’s hard to count on them in this match.
Prediction for the match: Entella to win with +0.0 Asian handicap.
