Crotone vs Fiorentina Prediction
Both teams have little incentive to play this match, likely making it a tepid affair. Crotone's recent form has been better than that of Fiorentina. That has the potential to make it a more even clash than would normally be the case considering the personnel involved.
Considering that zero stakes are involved, the match will most probably end in a goalless draw.
Predicition: Crotone 0-0 Fiorentina
