Vibonese and Catania have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Serie C: Girone C.

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.

Vibonese form and stats

Vibonese, who have the most scored goals (19) in Serie C: Girone C, have played 5 Serie C: Girone C games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-0-1 (wins-draws-losses). After failing to beat Avellino here at Stadio Luigi Razza, Vibonese has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.

Vibonese's last game was hosting Catania (placed 9th) and winning 5-0. Heartbreak before that as Vibonese lost 2-6 at Virtus Francavilla's place.

As mentioned above, Vibonese "killed" Catania in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

This is expected to be a close game, with Vibonese perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Vibonese as a small favourite), we find ten games. Vibonese has won 6 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.

Vibonese are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (14 goals in 5 games). From these home matches, Vibonese have conceded only 3 goals.

Catania, who have the most conceded goals (18) away in Serie C: Girone C, have only collected 3 points from their away games in the Serie C: Girone C, after 1-0-5 (6 played). It's all red in the travel logs of Catania, having lost five matches in a row as the visiting team.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Catania, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-5 versus Vibonese (placed 10th). Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Picerno.

Catania lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Catania in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Catania, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

The travelling fans enjoy Catania's attacking play in away games, having scored 10 goals in 6 league matches away.
