Insights:
  • Bisceglie have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their matches.

Bisceglie have less rest than Catanzaro in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Serie C: Girone C game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Avellino, so at least Bisceglie are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
