The Serie A is back in action this weekend with an important set of fixtures as Fiorentina take on Crotone at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Saturday. Both teams have endured miserable seasons so far and need to win this game.
Crotone are currently rooted to the bottom of the Serie A standings and have struggled to cope with the demands of the Italian top-flight. The Pitagorici did manage an emphatic 4-1 victory against Benevento and will want to build a streak this weekend.
Fiorentina, on the other, suffered a historic 6-0 thrashing against Napoli earlier this week and have plenty of work to do to salvage their season. La Viola are in 14th place in the Serie A table at the moment and are in desperate need of a victory.
Fiorentina vs Crotone Head-to-Head
Fiorentina have a good record against Crotone and have won two out of the four games played between the two teams. Crotone have managed only one victory against Fiorentina and have a point to prove in this game.
The previous meeting between the two teams in 2018 ended in a comfortable 2-0 victory for Fiorentina. La Viola have lost a few players in the transfer market over the past two years and will need to take it up a notch in this match.
