Brescia sit in pole position at the top of the table and race for automatic promotion, but with only a 1 point gap to 2nd place Palermo and 3rd place Benevento just 4 points back and holding a game in hand there's certainly plenty of work still to be done.
Brescia look well capable of seeing it through to the finish though as this is a side that's only lost 2 of 23 matches all season and remains undefeated at home with a record of 8-3-0, have now won 8 of their last 9 on their own pitch since opening the season with a pair of draws.
Meanwhile Crotone sit third from bottom in the league and have only managed 4 wins in 23 league matches this season, all of those coming against other sides in the bottom 5 of the table.
Playing away they've only managed to beat 15th place Livorno and 16th place Foggia, having been outscored 18-5 on the way to a draw and 8 losses when visiting teams placed 14th in the table or higher.
Their overall form isn't much better as the win over Foggia was the only time they've picked up the full 3 points in their last 15 league matches, so it's very difficult to see them causing much of a threat here to a Brescia club that's only lost once in it's last 21.
