Two sides separated by seven places in the Italian third division meet on Thursday night as Catania play host to Giugliano.
With just five games remaining for both teams between now and the end of the season, it is clear that Giugliano will not win promotion, but Catania's faith is still up in the air as far as relegation is concerned.
The hosts' faith is set to be decided by the relegation play-offs as they sit 20 points off the bottom of the table. Michele Zeoli's side go into Thursday's game low on confidence, having lost their last two games 2:4 on aggregate. Nevertheless, the Elephants can take heart from the fact that they won their last encounter with Giugliano.
Giugliano meanwhile were last in action last weekend against Avellino at home, where they came from behind to win 3-2 in a thrilling match. Head coach Valerio Bertotto will be expecting a similar performance from his boys this week, and that is certainly achievable as the Tiger cubs picked up four points from their last two away fixtures.
Betting Tips Catania vs Giugliano: Under 2.5 goals
Catania are without a clean sheet in their last three outings, but they have a good defensive record at home. The visitors finished four of their last six fixtures at the Angelo Massimino Stadium without conceding and just one of those encounters produced more than two goals.
Giugliano stroke three times last time out but their goal scoring on the road of late hasn’t been good. Valerio Bertotto’s men failed to score in three of their last four away matches and bets on Under 2.5 goals were won in as many games.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
