Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Crotone, 20th position with 6 points and a negative goal difference of -15
Sampdoria, 11th position with 14 points and a negative goal difference of -2

Crotone failing to win the Serie A Week 13 game against Sampdoria on Saturday 19 December 2020 at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in Genova, Italy.  Crotone remain in the last position of the Serie A with 6 points and it seems the promotion from Serie B is just not working.  Sampdoria claiming the 3 points reaching 17 points.  A radical change is needed for Crotone.

Sampdoria opening the score in the 26th minute and the situation for Crotone is tough.
