Crotone desperately need points on Sunday, Oct 18 at 3:00 PM in the Serie C – Group C. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Bari come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Crotone travel struggling badly (0W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Bari won their last outing, while Crotone suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Despite playing at home, Bari face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Crotone have won 4 of 10 encounters, with 5 draws. Their last encounter ended in Crotone won 3–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Bari clear favorites, but Crotone have shown they can grind out results. Expect Bari to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
