Crotone and Benevento will meet on Sunday, with both sides hoping to bounce back from league defeats last weekend.
Giovanni Stroppa claims Crotone need new signings and some luck to earn Serie A survival. The newly-promoted Serie A side lost 2-1 away at Hellas Verona on Sunday. “We didn’t play as well as we usually do in the first half, I am happy with the reaction, but we know where we need to improve” he added. “We can reach the teams ahead of us, but we must have the skills to do it. We always do good things, but we don’t take the points. We must believe we can make it, I am sure we can get satisfaction. I expect some luck with episodes and I don’t want to talk about transfers, but I believe the team must be reinforced.”
The Sharks sit at the bottom of the Serie A table, five points short of the 17th placement. Verona had by far the better start and took the lead when Antonin Barak’s slide-rule pass released Nikola Kalinic, the striker keeping his cool to drill into the far bottom corner. Hellas have shown a tendency to score spectacular goals lately and Federico Dimarco added another to the list. It was deceptively tricky, as he combined with Zaccagni down the left to cut inside and anticipated everyone with the outside of the left boot into the far bottom corner. Crotone scored with practically their first real chance after the restart, as Arkadiusz Reca whipped in a cross from the left, Pedro Pereira knocked it down at the back post for the acrobatic Junior Messias volley from six yards.
Crotone midfielder Luca Marrone (thigh) and defender Salvatore Molina (arm fracture) are both injured, while left-back Arkadiusz Reca misses out due to suspension. Central defender Koffi Djidji is expected to start the match alongside Vladimir Golemic and Sebastiano Luperto in the back three.
Crotone (3-5-2): Alex Cordaz; Lisandro Magallan, Vladimir Golemic, Giuseppe Cuom; Salvatore Molina, Eduardo Henrique, Niccolo Zanellato, Milos Vulic, Denis Drăguș; Emmanuel Riviere, Junior Messias
Benevento coach Pippo Inzaghi admitted his tactical choices against Atalanta were limited by injuries. ‘We shouldn’t have conceded the goal for 2-1. We were missing a lot of players, and yet we equalized and threatened with two dangerous counter-attacks, but conceding the second goal was the biggest mistake. We should not have allowed them to score there,” Inzaghi told media. Le Streghe has won their last two away games to fly into the top half of the table but were beaten at home again after a 2-0 to 10-man Milan. Benevento barely got out of their half in the first half but came out more aggressive from the restart. Although Marco Sau scored a temporary equalizer, Atalanta dominated the match and eventually ran out 4-1 winner.
Benevento boss Inzaghi has several absentees from his squad heading into Sunday's match. Gaetano Letizia (thigh) and Luca Caldirola (knee) are ruled out with injuries, as are Gabriele Moncini and Nicolas Viola, who are both suffering from ankle problems. Midfielder Pascale Schiattarella is unavailable after testing positive for coronavirus, while defender Alessandro Tuia remains doubtful. One positive however is that Iago Falque and Andreas Tello are expected to be fit to make the bench and could feature this weekend.
Benevento (4-3-2-1): Lorenzo Montipo; Federico Barba, Lorenzo Del Pinto, Kamil Glik, Alessandro Tuia; Riccardo Improta, Bryan Dabo, Perparim Hetemaj; Roberto Insigne, Gianluca Caprari; Gianluca Lapadula

Benevento looks like a better team than Crotone right now, because they are more responsible at the back, but it could be a thrilling encounter with a lot of goals because Crotone must find some points and wins to escape from the relegation zone. Both teams to score is our preferable betting option.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
