Season ticket holders at Stadio Comunale Alfredo Viviani haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Picerno languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Catania will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
