MATCH PREVIEW:
Crotone will look to begin their new season on a positive note as they face Brescia at home in the Coppa Italia on Tuesday.
Cosmi’s men were relegated from the Serie A after they finished a lowly 19th in the league and will want to do everything in their stride to get back to the Serie A next season.
Crotone come into this on the back of a loss against Vibonese in their pre-season friendly on penalties 4-2 after it finished 1-1 in regulation time.

With 3 wins in pre-season, the Serie B side look in a comfortable position heading into this one but with cup competitions, there always a surprise looming and they will need to be up for it.
Meanwhile, Brescia won their last match against Mantova in the early August and would like to keep the consistency going.
Both sides will meet soon in the Serie B, but need to get this knockout match out of their way before that one.
It’s a very evenly fought H2H battle between both sides as it is 5-5 in terms of wins with 2 draws in their last 12 matches.
Brescia won the last time they faced Crotone 2-0 in the Serie B in February, 2019 with Molina’s OG and Donnarumma’s strike ensuring the points.
Line-ups:
Crotone:
Festa, Nedelcearu, Marrone, Mondonico, Rispoli, Zanellato, Vulic, Molina, Borello, Rojas, Mulattieri
Brescia:
Joronen, Karacic, Cistana, Mangraviti, Martella, Labojko, van de Looi, Jagiello, Bjarnason, Donnarumma and Ayé
Prediction: Crotone 2-1 Brescia
Crotone is expected to get their season off to a good start with a win against Brescia.
They look the stronger side on paper and have good form heading into this clash.
