FC Rieti hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 12 points and a 17th position in the Serie C: Girone C table. Visiting Catania holds 10th place with 21 pts.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Coppa Italia Serie C game only four days ago. That game, against Potenza Calcio, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Catania.
Catania 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.
FC Rieti form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie C: Girone C this season. FC Rieti, who have the most conceded goals (35) in Serie C: Girone C, have only managed 1 win, 2 draws and 5 losses from their games here at Stadio Centro d'Italia-Manlio Scopigno. FC Rieti has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager B. Caneo and the players.
In their previous game, the manager B. Caneo led his FC Rieti to a defeat in the Serie C: Girone C match away at Avellino. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Centro d'Italia-Manlio Scopigno. Ahead of that match, FC Rieti lost 0-3 at home to Reggina.
FC Rieti are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 8 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.
Catania form and stats
There's been little loot from Catania's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 7 away games in the Serie C: Girone C. Catania only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 0 draws. Bitter travels for Catania as they have lost six games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Avellino match.
It's the second away game in a row for Catania, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Potenza Calcio (placed 2nd) in the Coppa Italia Serie C last time out. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Casertana in the Serie C: Girone C.
Catania have scored 10 goals on their travels this season, from 7 away games in the league. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Catania's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 21 goals in 7 travels. Catania can't defend away. 21 goals have been scored by the opposition in 7 matches, an average of more than three per game.
