Flashy Catanzaro visit Südtirol after their 2-1-result vs Sampdoria. Check out our thorough preview!

Insights:
  • Südtirol have not yet lost a game at home.
  • Catanzaro have the most matches over the total-line (6) in Serie B

These teams have little in common geographically as Catanzaro have to travel 1200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Südtirol form and stats

Südtirol have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the Serie B. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

Südtirol faced defeat in their previous match, away at Palermo (1-2). Before that match this team had gone six consecutive league rounds without a loss. Midfielder Ciervo was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.72 (out of ten) in that game. Ciervo scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 19 successful passes (of 23 total).

In the match before that, Südtirol hosted Modena and drew the game 0-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Südtirol perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Südtirol as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Südtirol has won 1 of these, drawn 3 and lost 3.

4 goals have been conceded.

Catanzaro form and stats

The visitors are W2-D2-L0 on the road this term. That's in the Serie B.

Catanzaro play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Sampdoria (placed 19th). That win felt sweet as this side had gone three league matches without winning.

A draw for Catanzaro before that, at their own venue hosting Cittadella (1-1).

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 7 similar matches played by Catanzaro in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Catanzaro, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

Catanzaro's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 6 goals from these trips.
