National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Catania or San Nicolò that keep their silverware dream alive.
San Nicolò have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Catania form and stats
Catania was eliminated in the 2nd round last season in the Coppa Italia.Catania are steadily winning Serie C: Girone C games and points here at Stadio Angelo Massimino. 8 wins, 6 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 15 games.
Happy days for Catania in their previous game, a Serie C: Girone C match away at Bisceglie that ended with a 1-0 victory. Before that, Catania had a Serie C: Girone C home game versus Vibonese which ended with a victory 2-1.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Catania, as the Serie C: Girone C home game vs Paganese is only four days away.
Catania has scored 19 league goals at home this season, in 15 matches. Catania are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadio Angelo Massimino in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 9 from 15 matches.
San Nicolò form and stats
San Nicolò's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed San Nicolò collect 26 points from their 13 away matches in the Serie D: Girone F. 8 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 3 defeats). San Nicolò has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Nicolò manager as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Pineto.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Nicolò have scored 19 goals in 13 league games away.
