Serie B
Historically the fixture has produced few blowouts: across the modern era (since 2005) the two clubs have met regularly with a fairly even split - Crotone have edged the all-time head-to-head but many encounters finished level. The majority of recent head-to-head meetings between the sides took place in Serie B - the last one was over five years ago and ended in a 1-1 draw.
Salernitana team overview
Statistically Salernitana are the form team in Girone C: they sit top of the table after 12 matches, collecting 26 points with a goal return of 18 and conceding 13 - figures that underline a positive goal difference and consistency in results. Their recent form has not been ideal, but nevertheless compelling enough to preserve the first spot in the league table - only one defeat in the last six matches (W3 D2 L1).
At home Salernitana have been especially effective, winning the majority of their matches at Arechi this season and posting multiple multi-goal contributors; forwards such as Roberto Inglese (4 goals listed in season stats) have been prominent in offensive output. Defensively they are solid rather than spectacular, averaging around 1.08 goals conceded per game, which suggests a compact back line but one not immune to conceding goals.

Crotone team overview
Crotone have had a more mixed start: the standings show them around mid-table (8th after 12 matches, with 17 points) with a healthy goals scored number (19), which is actually higher than Salernitana’s. Their league position could have been even better heading into this game, but Emilio Longo’s men have suffered a drastic dip in form - three consecutive league defeats in the last three weeks. Nonetheless, they remain competitive on the road, with three wins, one draw and only one defeat to date.
Crotone’s strengths come from quick transitions and set-piece threat; their attacking numbers place responsibility on a small group of consistent scorers: Guido Gomez has 8 goals, Marco Zunno - 4.

Prediction
Putting all of this together, Salernitana’s superior home form and slightly better defensive record make them favourites on paper. Expect a controlled Salernitana side to dominate possession and attempt to break down Crotone early, while Crotone will look for moments to counter and exploit any space in behind as an away side.
A realistic outcome is a win for Salernitana - they have enough attacking quality to edge it, but with Crotone’s finishing on the road (12 goals in 5 matches) it should be a tight affair. We nevertheless predict Salernitana to edge it and therefore claim its ninth win of the season.
Prediction: Salernitana to Win
Three reasons we expect Salernitana to Win
- Salernitana are top of Serie C standings and have won three of their last five league fixtures.
- Salernitana boast a strong home record - five wins from six.
- Crotone are in poor form right now - they have suffered three consecutive league defeats.
