Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Cavese in 10th and Catania in 8th place.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Cavese form and stats
Cavese have played 12 Serie C: Girone C games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-6-1 (wins-draws-losses). Hopes of three in a row are alive for Cavese after consecutive victories at their own ground.
The Cavese goalkeeper Alessandro Fortunato D'Andrea is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 195 minutes without conceding a goal in the Serie C: Girone C.
An away draw last time out for Cavese, facing Paganese in a game that ended 0-0. Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Teramo.
The Cavese fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 12 matches. Cavese have only conceded 9 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Catania form and stats
Catania have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Serie C: Girone C, after 2-2-8 (12 played).
The attacking players of Catania have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 180 minutes.
The manager C. Lucarelli was unhappy after their last game, a Serie C: Girone C match played at their home ground Stadio Angelo Massimino. Catania suffered a 0-2 loss to Monopoli (placed 4th). It was a Coppa Italia Serie C defeat before that one as the away game against Ternana wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Ternana in just three days.
Catania have scored 16 goals on their travels this season, from 12 away games in the league. The Catania manager C. Lucarelli has some worries about the defense as 28 goals have been conceded in these travels.
