General match analysis
Crotone have a marked defensive advantage at home — only 0.63 conceded per home match and 50% clean sheets, significantly limiting opponents’ chances. Hosts control matches (54% possession) and have higher home xG (1.47), translating into more chances than Audace. Audace Cerignola concede 1.31 on average away and score only 1.06 per away match, with a lower CS% (31%), indicating a weaker away defense. Although visitors show marginally higher PPG in the last 5, their away efficiency and lower finishing make them unlikely winners. Therefore a home victory is the most probable outcome.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Statistical review shows a moderate advantage for BTTS = Yes, mainly due to both teams' last5 BTTS 60% and decent xG and shot metrics indicating chances at both ends. Crotone at home have higher goals/xG (1.59/1.62) and lower goals conceded (1.29), while Audace Cerignola, despite lower season BTTS, improved offensively recently (last5 2.0 g/m and xG 1.41). Similar xG_against (~1.28–1.37) suggests both teams allow opportunities and league avg goals ~2.49 supports goals each way. Counterpoint is Crotone's more frequent clean sheets (CS 41%), reducing certainty, but last5 form and 60% recent BTTS favor both teams scoring. Recommendation: BTTS = Yes with moderate confidence.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Model based on xG and team stats: home xG 1.62 and away 1.35 with defensive xG against (away 1.37, home 1.28) yield expected goals ~1.50/1.31. Crotone posts higher shot and conversion rates and better last5 form, increasing scoring probability. Both teams frequently record Over 0.5 and 1.5 goals (high seasonOver15 percentages) and seasonal BTTS suggests both sides can score. With combined xG 2.81 and over/under history, I recommend Over 1.5 as the strongest signal.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Crotone has a clear offensive and home advantage (seasonScoredAVG 1.59 vs 1.06; scoredAVGHT 0.76 vs 0.31), increasing the chance to lead at HT. HT stats show hosts more often lead or maintain good first-half form (leadingAtHTPercentage 29% and 60% HT leads in the last five matches). Overall home superiority and better xG and shot volume suggest they can hold the lead in the second half and convert an HT advantage into an FT win. Despite potential HT draws (high drawingAtHT), the home defensive HT balance and higher CSHT favor maintaining the result. Therefore the most likely and strongest signal is 1/1.
