Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Hellas Verona & Catanzaro face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Coppa Italia. All the pre-match information is available here!
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Catanzaro have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Hellas Verona form and stats
Last season, Hellas's Coppa Italia journey ended in the 4th round.The story so far in the Serie A for Hellas Verona at their home stadium is 6 wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats. With eight home Serie A games in a row without a win, the Hellas fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Parma game long ago, can be stopped today.
The home team returns after being equal after 90 minutes with Napoli on their last time out; the Serie A game ended 1-1. Defender Koray Günter got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.64/10. Günter served one assist, hit one key pass and won 5 of 8 duels.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Napoli that finished 1-1.Hellas are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 23 goals in 19 games. 23 goals have been conceded.
Catanzaro form and stats
Last season their Coppa Italia adventure ended in the 3rd round.Playing away, Catanzaro have won 7 games, drawn 7 and suffered 4 defeats in the Serie C: Girone C this season. In general it has been a productive period now for Catanzaro as they haven't lost any of their last ten games.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Como (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties) in their previous outing. The Coppa Italia match ended in a draw 2-2.
Ahead of that match was the victory versus Viterbese Castrense at their stadium, the result 2-0.The visiting Catanzaro have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 20 goals from 18 games. It's not easy to score on Catanzaro as they have only conceded 16 goals from these away games.
