Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Sparkles will be flying when Catanzaro and Brescia take on each other at Stadio Nicola Ceravolo in the Serie B playoffs quarter-final. Catanzaro finished the regular season in 5th place in the standings, but they head into Saturday’s clash following back-to-back defeats to Ternana and Sampdoria. Andrea Oliveri should recover in time to face Le Rondinelle, while both Luca D’Andrea and Giuseppe Ambrosino remain in the recovery room.
The visitors, meanwhile, booked their spot in the playoffs thanks to a routine 4-1 win over Lecco. As Brescia and Catanzaro seem to be evenly matched at the moment, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. In their last meeting in the Italian second tier the two sides played out a 1-1 draw. Brescia defender Davide Adorni remains in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
Highlighted Team (Brescia):
Hosting their rivals at Stadio Mario Rigamonti, the stadium with the capacity of 16,743, Brescia are Italian team founded back in 1911 under the name of Brescia Football Club. Le Rondinelle are well known for their blue and white shirts, but white is dominant colour in their away kit.
Atalanta are considered one of the club’s fiercest rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the Derby of Lombardy. The Stadio Mario Rigamonti outfit have rivalries with the likes of Inter, Hellas Verona and Cremonese as well. Roberto Baggio, who has 56 caps with the Italy national football team, is considered the most famous footballer who played for Brescia.
Robi scored 45 goals in 95 appearances in the Serie A for le Rondinelle. It has to be noted that the likes of Andrea Pirlo, Gheorge Hagi, Pep Guardiola, Luca Toni, Luigi Di Biagio and Dario Hubner were part of Brescia in the past as well. However, Mario Rigamonti is the club’s biggest legend as he died in the Superga air disaster back in 1949.
