Juventus soothed the pain of Champions League (CL) exit by going six points clear of Napoli at the top of Serie A (SA) standings. Crotone (18th) are just one point adrift of safety and will hope for help from other fixtures than a miracle in this game!
The hosts lost 1-0 at Genoa last weekend, which was their fourth loss in five games, leaving them tantalisingly in the relegation spots. With the three sides above showing fight in the relegation battle, the hosts will be praying that a loss in this fixture isn’t catastrophic.
Crotone’s home form has been the backbone of their challenge as they have picked up 19 of their 27 points (70%) at home. With games against Sassuolo, Chievo, and Udinese – all potential relegation battles – coming up next, their sights could already be away from this game!
Juventus have no such problems as they have taken the CL exit in their stride. With a game against title challengers Napoli set for the next round, Juve know that the title is now theirs to lose!
Their away form has been near-perfect with just one draw in their last ten trips. Not just that, they have kept eight clean sheets during the process, while scoring in nine. No team has scored more than their 37 away goals this season!
Players to watch: A lot is expected of Adrian Stoian, whose last two goal involvements helped Crotone pick up six points.
Sami Khedira (JUV) is reaping rewards of an injury-free season and is coming into his own with two goals and two assists in five games.
Stat attack: Crotone have lost all their last five encounters against Juve, conceding 16 and scoring none.
Juventus have scored the most number of goals and conceded the least in SA, while Crotone are in the bottom-five on both counts.
