Ternana haven’t lost a league-game in 22 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Viterbese Castrense, 142 days ago. In general it's been a long time since Ternana tasted defeat here at Stadio Libero Liberati, as they have taken at least one point from their last twelve home games in the league.

Ternana's last game was hosting Casertana (placed 8th) and winning 5-1. 1-1 away at Palermo before that.

As indicated by the result mentioned above, Ternana played a great game against Casertana and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Ternana's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played ten games, won six matches, drawn one and lost three.

Catania are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Serie C: Girone C against Virtus Francavilla (placed 11th). Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Juve Stabia that ended 1-1.

J. Dall'Oglio came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Virtus Francavilla last time out, making the manager G. Raffaele feel like a tactical genius.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.
