Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:

Napoli, 5th position with 53 points and a positive goal difference of +29
Napoli win the Serie A Week 29 game defeating Crotone on Saturday 3 April 2021 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Napoli, Italy. Crotone being in the last position of the Serie A has won only 4 games this season and relegation is almost a reality.
- Crotone is the team faced most by Napoli in Serie A against which the Neapolitans have always won: 5 out of 5 wins. Napoli have won the last three league games, keeping a clean sheet in the two most recent; since February 2019 they haven’t recorded at least three clean sheets in a row in Serie A (five in that case with Carlo Ancelotti). Napoli have won their last five matches at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium in Serie A, conceding just one goal in the set, the last time they recorded a longest domestic streak in the league was in October 2017 (six) with Maurizio Sarri.
Crotone have conceded at least two goals in all their last 10 league games, only Padova (14 in 1996) and Udinese (13 in 2018) have conceded 2+ goals in multiple matches in a row in Serie A history. Napoli is the team that has recorded the highest number of clean sheets in this Serie A (11); in the entire last championship the Neapolitans did not concede goals in only seven matches. Crotone is the team that has conceded the most goals this season in the five major European leagues: 70 goals collected in 28 games (2.5 on average).
