Venue: Stadio Comunale Alfredo Viviani (6000 seats)

With the volatile opening match out of the way it’s time for the second Serie C: Girone C meeting of the season. Picerno are eager to welcome Catanzaro in front of their home following.

Both crews have had a decent time to rest since their last competitive action. Let's trust this will be an in-your-face fixture!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Catanzaro have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 1-3-0 (win-draw-loss) from four matches.

Picerno form and stats

The previous season, Picerno's league results were 19 wins, 11 draws and 4 losses, ending with 2nd position in the Serie D: Girone H. In these 34 matches they scored 58 goals and let in 34. Appearing as the home team in the last season Picerno managed 9-6-2 (win-draw-lost) with 32 goals and 17 conceded. In general it's been a long time since Picerno tasted defeat here at Stadio Comunale Alfredo Viviani, as they have taken at least one point from their last ten home games in the league.

Stress levels are on the rise for Picerno's attacking players as they have now played 221 minutes without scoring in a league game. E. Esposito was their last goal scorer.

Picerno manager A. Palo and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Vibonese (placed 17th) in the Serie C: Girone C.

Prior to that, an away loss at Palermo in the Coppa Italia Serie C.
