Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Parma play host to Crotone at their Stadio Ennio Tardini in the Serie B round 19. The Gli Emiliani did well to beat Alessandria in their last league match, with the team putting an end to their six-game winless run. Parma aim to move closer to the Serie B playoffs berth, and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Crotone. Defender Lautaro Valenti is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the match.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Pordenone, but given their poor away record in the 2021/2022 Serie B campaign, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts. A man to watch in the away team will be Croatia international Mirko Maric, who scored a brace in the crushing of Pordenone.
