A top-of-the-table clash. One of those games that can shape the season. Catanzaro and Palermo are well aware that Sunday afternoon’s match in Calabria could change the fortunes of both teams. And they know that losing could be disastrous.
The two teams are separated by only three points in the standings, with the Calabrians having a slight advantage. Palermo, on the other hand, is currently in the playoffs but risks being dragged out with a couple of negative results. It would be a real disaster.
Catanzaro’s recent performances have highlighted what are currently major defensive problems for the Giallorossi: seven goals conceded in three games is too many, especially when you are up against a striker like Pohjanpalo, who is decisive. It will be a battle between strikers, as Iemmello will be playing for the home side. It is therefore clear that the constant we mentioned earlier will be confirmed.
Odds comparison
Catanzaro’s victory is priced at 2.65 on Goldbet and Lottomatica and 2.60 on Snai.

The prediction
It seems excessive to us to say who is the favorite. Catanzaro can certainly take advantage of their home field. But what is certain, and therefore the constant from before, is that both teams will definitely find the back of the net during the match. This has been the case in the last three encounters. And since Caserta’s team is slightly ahead, we feel confident in saying that this match will also produce at least three goals in total.
