Parma vs Crotone Predictions

• Crotone have lost 14 and won none of their 16 Serie A away games this season.
• Both teams have scored in seven of both Parma and Crotone’s last eight league matches.

Parma to boost survival hopes against hapless Crotone

Two sides that look destined for Serie B clash on Saturday and it’s the hosts who look favourites to boost their slim survival hopes. Parma sit some 11 points adrift of safety with six games still to play, but they could close that gap here when they face a Crotone side that have endured a torrid campaign.

The visitors are on a six-match losing streak and find themselves 16 points off safety. They have lost 13 of their last 14 Serie A outings and have conceded an incredible 80 goals. Mathematically they still have a shot at survival, but realistically they look utterly incapable of bridging such a chasm.

I Pitagorici have been particularly woeful away from home, collecting just two points all season and shipping 48 goals in 16 matches. Ironically Parma harbour the worst home record in Serie A, but even they have managed to collect points in seven of their 16 outings at Stadio Ennio Tardini.

What we can expect from Saturday’s tie is plenty of goalmouth action. These sides have conceded 146 league goals and kept just seven clean sheets between them this season. Both teams have scored in seven of both Parma and Crotone’s last eight outings and backing both teams to score here looks the pick of the bunch.

Crotone’s abysmal away record points towards a Parma win here, especially since they actually have half a chance of staying up. Parma are yet to score more than two goals at home in Serie A this season, so a 2-1 correct score prediction is our choice.

• Both teams have scored in 11 of Crotone’s Serie A away games this season
• Crotone have gone down by a single goal 11 times in the league in 2020-21
