Competition: Italy Serie C: Girone C
Date: Sun 15.September
Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stadio Angelo Massimino (20104 seats)

The Serie C: Girone C league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. These two teams are placed 5th and 6th respectively.

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!

Viterbese Castrense 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 have only played one Serie C: Girone C game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 14 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats from 18 matches. Two home wins in a row for Catania bring valid hopes of a third.

The fans are hoping that Catania will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Serie C: Girone C game against Potenza Calcio (placed 7th). Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Virtus Francavilla.

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 Catania's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won 1 match, drawn 0 and lost 0.

Early season league goal statistics from Catania's 1 home game: 2 goals, 1 conceded.
