Crotone's return to the Italian top flight was anything but glorious. They were easily defeated in the two matches played so far and conceded six goals.

Can the situation improve for them this Saturday in Reggio Emilia against Sassuolo?

The hosts have been on fire lately, showcasing the same form and style of play as the previous season, which makes them super fun to watch.

The Greens and Blacks are marked as heavy favorites for the win here, with low odds of 1,44. We expected no less after seeing them take down Spezia 4-1 last weekend.

Sassuolo vs Crotone Head to Head

Interestingly, Crotone demolished Sassuolo the last time they met in 2018. It was a Serie A match played in Crotone and the hosts won 4-1. Six of the last seven direct confrontations between these teams were won by the hosts.

There have been a total of 12 meetings so far: Sassuolo has won seven and lost just three. When it comes to goals, the total number is 30, averaging exactly 2,50 per game.

Five of the last six meetings have also ended with a BTTS & Over 2,5 FT combination.

Prediction Sassuolo vs Crotone

Sassuolo finished the previous Serie A season in an eighth place, mainly thanks to very high stats in terms of efficiency.

The Reggio Emilia team scored 69 goals in 38 games, which is quite impressive for this division. For example, they scored more goals than Milan or Napoli!

Francesco Caputo topped the team charts with 21 goals. He has also scored one goal this season, so he could be his choice in the scoring market.

As mentioned above, Sassuolo overcame Spezia completely away from home 4-1, while the opening Serie A game against Cagliari at home ended without a 1-1 winner. His aggressive approach is sure to work well against Crotone, who have terrible defense. The visitors lost to Genoa 1-4 and AC Milan 0-2.
