Crotone hosts Parma in round 14 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Tuesday, December 22nd at Stadio Ezio Scida (Crotone)
Crotone is again among the outsiders, but you should not count it out for now. The Pythagoreans had already attempted to gain a foothold in Serie A some years ago. They were remembered for their miraculous rescue in the first season, although then the outsider left the elite. The team made several attempts to return but managed to do it only with Giovanni Stroppa. Crotone took 2nd place, which guaranteed direct promotion to Serie A. Truth be told, the team looked frankly uncompetitive - it started with three defeats and scored only two points in 10 rounds. Nevertheless, it is too early to count it out. The club came to life in December, having gained a landslide victory over Spezia. Will there be miraculous salvation in Serie A again? After a 1-3 defeat to Sampdoria in the last meeting, there are doubts about this.

For now, Parma may not be too worried about relegation. The Crusaders received new owners in the summer, and they brought a new head coach. At first, Fabio Liverani had little success: the team, which even fought for European cups in the last season, could not score points in both starting rounds and lost three times in the first four matches of the championship. Moreover, the victory over Verona was the only one in eight starting matches. On the other hand, there was a 2-2 draw with Inter, and Parma began an unbeaten run from the end of November. The Yellow-Blues managed to beat Genoa away and tied three times in a row, including the away match against the undisputed leader of the season, AC Milan. But on Saturday night, the Crusaders hosted Juventus and lost almost without a fight (0-4). Fabio Liverani's players had a minimum of time to recover after that match. However, it is advisable to play to win since the gap from the relegation zone is not so comfortable.
It is an unusual situation, but these clubs have never met before. Parma played in Serie B just when Crotone was in the elite. The Crusaders need to make up for Saturday's misfire, and a voyage to Crotone is a great chance for that. We think the visitors will do their best to win.
Prediction for the match: Parma to win with 0.0 handicap
