Crotone hosts Bologna in round 28 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, March 20th at Stadio Ezio Scida (Crotone)
Crotone rounds out the Serie A standings. The Pythagoreans scored only 15 points in 27 games, and their goal difference is 30-67. So, it is not surprising that it is the newcomer who is at the very bottom of Serie A, lagging behind its competitors with each round. Still, one should not expect that now the outsider will give up the points so easily. The bosses appointed a new mentor, Cerse Cosmi, and he gave the team a certain boost. On March 7th, Crotone beat one of the competitors, Torino (4-2). And a week later, the Sharks conceded the decisive goal from Lazio only in the 84th minute (3-2). Simy Nwankwo scored doubles in both matches. In total, the 28-year-old Nigerian has 12 goals in this Serie A.

Bologna can calmly play out the current championship. The Red and Blues feel more or less confident near the equator of the standings. In the last round, they even managed to beat a club of about the same class, Sampdoria. Barrow and Svanberg were the creators of the victory over the Genoa club (each scored a goal and made an assist). We may also note Roberto Soriano, who set the final score 3-1 and scored his 9th goal since the start of the championship. Now Sinisa Mihajlovic's charges have 31 points, so they can spend the rest of the season in a relaxed manner. Of course, they have no chance of competing for European Cups. But Cagliari, which is the best of the three outsiders, is nine points behind. Such a distance, as practice shows, is rarely won back for the ten remaining rounds.
Crotone won both head-to-head matches in the Serie A draw in 2017/2018. But these are its only recent successes. Bologna won in the remaining four meetings, including in the fall match of the current championship. Now the teams will start the segment of the season when motivation often trumps class. It is extremely important for Crotone to cling to the points, and there is a feeling that the hosts will manage to gain at least a draw.
Prediction for the match: Crotone to win with +0.5 handicap
