Reeling contenders Inter Milan (4-5-2, 14 points) will look to build momentum as they host cellar-dwelling side FC Crotone (1-8-2, 5 points) at their home field of Giuseppe Meazza Stadium in San Siro on Sunday, Nov. 6 in a 2016-2017 Serie A season match.
Start Time and Streaming Info
The game starts at 12:00 p.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
Inter Milan is on a downward spiral as of late after winning just once in their last six matches. The team has dropped to the 12th spot of the Italian top flight table, tied on points with Udinese and Sampdoria and seven points above the bottom three relegation area.
Their last game resulted in a 0-1 defeat to Sampdoria on the road at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium last Sunday, as per ESPN.
Italian forward Fabio Quagliarella netted the lone goal of the contest for the hosts while interim head coach Stefano Vecchi's side was brought back down to the ground again following a 2-1 win over Torino in the previous round.
The loss was I Nerazzurri's fourth in their last five games, which greatly reduces their chance of qualifying even in the Europa League for next season.
Meanwhile, Crotone, who was promoted this season after a runner-up finish in the Serie B last term, is somewhat rising with a two-game unbeaten run at the moment.
After forcing a 1-1 draw with Fiorentina late last month, the Sharks blanked middling side Chievo, 2-0, at their home stadium of Ezio Scida also last Sunday, via Sporting Life.
Italian striker Marcello Trotta opened the scoring during the first half injury time to give head coach Davide Nicola's squad the lead at the break. Another striker, Diego Falcinelli, then doubled the lead in the second half stoppage time to complete the two-goal clean sheet win.
Crotone remained in the bottom of the 20-team league table despite piling up points in the two previous rounds. They could get out of the bottom three area if they pull off another upset win over Inter Milan in this match.
