2. Pescara 0-3 Catanzaro | 27/11/22

The two sides are hardly accustomed to playing one another having only faced off twice before. Heading into this Friday's game however Catanzaro can take a slight mental advantage being unbeaten against their opponents in all tournaments.

This will only be a marginal mental edge however as the sides only drew when they last faced each other back in the 23/24 season. Previous games also indicate the likelihood of this being a relatively high scoring game with a total of 7 scored across the last 2 played.

2. Catanzaro 2-1 Venezia
3. Mantova 1-3 Catanzaro

5. Catanzaro 0-1 Padova

In the previous 5 games hosts Catanzaro has shown solid form indicating exactly why they are sat in the midtable as of current. Some big profile wins have been recorded over sides like Venezia and Palermo which will be sure to bolster the sides mentality.

They have also shown a good ability to put the ball in the back of the net recently having netted themselves 6 in the last 5. Down at the other end of the pitch however it's not going quite as well, the side have only managed to keep a clean sheet once in the last 5.

Last 5 Pescara Games:

1. Pescara 0-2 Monza
2. Palermo 5-0 Pescara
3. Pescara 1-1 Avellino
4. Entella 1-1 Pescara
5. Pescara 2-2 Carrarese

Relegation threatened Pescara have shown form that takes very little inference to understand how they are in the position they are in. They are winless in their last 5 having only managed to draw 3, furthermore 1 of their 2 defeats was a 5-0 battering by Palermo which will almost certainly be weighing heavy on their minds.

Goal getting has strangely enough not been an issue for this Pescara side considering their position having bagged 4 in their previous 5, not an incredible haul but you hear of a lot worse when it comes to relegation candidates. The sides main issue has been in their defensive struggles in their previous 5 they have not managed to keep a single clean sheet and have conceded a whopping 11.

Key Players To Watch:

Alphadjo Cisse (Catanzaro):

Loanee Cisse has been one of the Catanzaro sides best talents so far this season and will have surely impressed his parent club Hellas Verona on his time away so far. At only 19 the midfielder is currently his sides top scorer in the Serie B with 5.

He often alternates playing between playing up front, on the wing and through the middle as a 10. It is this chameleon like ability to play in so many positions that has seen him be called up for the Italian u21 side recently in which he gave a solid showing against Montenegro.

Antonio Di Nardo (Pescara):

Striker Di Nardo has so far been a shining light in what can only be described as a dismal season for his club. Arriving on a free from Serie C side Campobasso in the summer, Pescara will be very happy with the displays he has shown so far this season.

As of writing he has the most contributions in the Serie B for the club with 5. Di Nardo has bagged himself 3 goals making himself joint top scorer in a 4-way-tie and has the joint second most assists in a three-way-tie with 2.
