Crotone 0-1 Fiorentina - Serie A 2016/2017 Statistical Preview

Aleandro Rosi and Federico Ceccherini are expected to return to the defence this weekend.
Marcello Trotta is favourite to partner Diego Falcinelli up front in a 4-4-2 formation here.

Riccardo Saponara has quickly climbed up the ranks at Fiorentina and is now expected to start ahead of Josip Ilicic regularly.
As Fiorentina are out of every other competition, they are forced to make Serie A their priority, but their might be some opportunities for the younger players in the squad from now until the end of the season.

Prediction

Crotone were not expected to get any points againstNapoli in the last round, but here, at home, against a more affordable opponent, they could go all-in in a desperate attempt to close the gap on Empoli.
Fiorentina won at home against Cagliari in the last round thanks to a last-minute goal from Nikola Kalinic, who seems to be the only player still putting in maximum effort on the pitch for the Viola.
The technical gap is clearly in Fiorentina's favor, but Crotone will have bigger motivations and home advantage will benefit them here. The Viola need to remain focused to avoid another upset here.
