lace>CROTONE</st1

lace></st1:City> – <st1:City><st1

lace>Crotone</st1

lace></st1:City> in horrendous form with no wins in the last 9 games, and only one goal scored in their last 5 games. Equally inept is their sub-par home record, just 2 wins in 10 games played. <st1:City><st1

lace>Cesena</st1

lace></st1:City> has its own problems on the road, with just 2 wins and 3 draws in 10 games and 21 goals allowed. Last time these two met (week 2 at <st1:City><st1

lace>Cesena</st1

lace></st1:City>), it was a one sided affair with <st1:City><st1

lace>Cesena</st1

lace></st1:City> winning 3-1. With Juventus on deck next week, don’t think <st1:City><st1

lace>Crotone</st1

lace></st1:City> will stay focused against a high powered team like <st1:City><st1

lace>Cesena</st1

lace></st1:City>, who are superior at every level. The key here is <st1:City><st1

lace>Cesena</st1

lace></st1:City>’s offense. If they score first (as I think they will), <st1:City><st1

lace>Crotone</st1

lace></st1:City> will be forced into pressing from the midfield area (probably one of the worst and slowest in Serie B). <st1:City><st1

lace>Cesena</st1

lace></st1:City>’s has execellent team speed and will be presented with the opportunity to counter-attack often. Don’t see this one any different than week 2. <st1:City><st1

lace>Crotone</st1

lace></st1:City> will probably score one against <st1:City><st1

lace>Cesena</st1

lace></st1:City>’s defense, but will not be able to contain the visitor, who could go over the total by themselves. The plays:<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com
