1.64Tip and bets
The hosts have failed to score a single point in their last three matches. It is obvious that the team is currently on the decline and beating Catanzaro will not be easy. The visitors only ended a long unbeaten streak in the last match and they will be trying to prove that the defeat in the previous round was an accident. In face-to-face meetings, the advantage is on the side of the visitors - Catanzaro beat Cosenza twice in a row with a score of 2:0. We believe that the visiting team will gain the upper hand this time too.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Catanzaro for 2.20

The opponents have quite modest resources, so they often have to play to hold the score. The teams are not among the leaders in the number of goals scored, so you should not expect productive football.

Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals at 1.65
