A place in the Serie B promotion playoffs semi-finals is up for grabs as Catanzaro host Cesena at Stadio Nicola Ceravolo on Saturday. This is the preliminary round of the playoffs, with the winner facing Spezia in the semis, and our prediction is under 2.5 goals.
The hosting Southern Eagles finished sixth in the regular season with 53 points, while the visiting Seahorses finished seventh, also with the same number of points but with an inferior goal difference.
Catanzaro drew 0-0 away at Mantova in their last league game of the season, a point that took their hosts above the relegation playoff spots. The Eagles will be concerned about their recent downturn in form, as they have lost some momentum in the past few weeks.
The hosts could win just one of their last eight league matches (D4, L3), and that's an indicator of their falling standards. That said, a run of solitary loss in their last nine home Serie B matches suggests Catanzaro won't go down easily.
The stakes are high for Cesena too, and they arrive here confidently. A 1-0 away win at Modena on the last matchday meant they had three wins in a row to round the regular season off.
This helped them sustain their promotion bid, erasing the hurt of zero wins between March and April.
