Catania form and stats

Catania have only played one Serie C: Girone C game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 10 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats from 18 matches.

Catania lost their last game at Catanzaro (placed 5th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Heartbreak for Catania in their last match as Catanzaro's I. Monterisi scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Prior to that, an away loss at Paganese in the Serie C: Girone C.

This is expected to be a close game, with Catania perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Catania as a small favourite), we find eight games. Catania has won one of these, drawn four and lost three.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Catania at home in the league. 2 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Bari 1908 form and stats

217 minutes! That's how long the Bari goalkeeper Pierluigi Frattali and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Bari 1908 play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Picerno (placed 16th). S. Simeri came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Picerno last time out, making the manager M. Mignani feel like a tactical genius.

That result followed a home victory 4-0 versus Nuova Monterosi.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Bari 1908 playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were zero Bari 1908 wins, three draws and two defeats.
