-------------------------------------
Team Analysis
Catanzaro had a strong regular season, finishing fifth. They’re particularly dominant at home, winning 7 of their last 10 home matches. Their style relies on possession and midfield pressing, with strength in set pieces and short-passing build-ups.
Spezia narrowly avoided relegation via the playouts. Their form remains inconsistent, especially away from home, managing just 3 away wins all season. Their tactics favor defensive solidity and quick counterattacks through the middle.
Key Players
Catanzaro’s midfield engine Jari Vandeputte has tallied 8 goals and 10 assists, excelling in set-piece delivery. Veteran striker Pietro Iemmello brings crucial experience and composure in front of goal.
Spezia forward Antonino Ragusa has been reliable, scoring twice in the last four matches. However, midfield enforcer Dimitrios Nikolaou is suspended due to card accumulation, leaving a gap in their defensive setup.
Nowgoal Prediction
With Catanzaro’s solid home record and Spezia’s defensive concerns on the road, the hosts are likely to capitalize and edge a tight encounter.
Prediction: Catanzaro 2-1 Spezia
