On paper it looks like advantage Picerno in this match against Catania, but the away team will battle to the bitter end. Here's our complete match preview!

Insights:
  • Picerno have conceded at least twice as many corners as they have won at home.
  • Catania have yet to win a game away.

Catania could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Serie C: Girone C game only four sleeps ago.

1-1-0 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Catania when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those two matches are 2-1 (scored/conceded).

Picerno form and stats

1-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie C: Girone C numbers at home for Picerno so far this season.

The fans are hoping that Picerno will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Serie C: Girone C game against Monopoli (placed 2nd).

Previous to that game, a home match hosting ACR Messina in a game that was won 2-1.

Picerno aren't scoring a lot here at Stadio Comunale Donato Curcio in the league, with only 2 goals from 3 games. From these home matches, Picerno have conceded only 2 goals.

Catania form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Serie C: Girone C for Catania with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.

Catania might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Turris proved too strong as Catania slumped to a 3-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Angelo Massimino. As you can tell from the result, the match against Turris was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?

Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Catanzaro.

Catania are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. Catania struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 5 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the preceeding two meetings): Picerno won zero games, zero matches ended with a draw and Catania managed two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / one
