Catanzaro seems to be the favorite of this meeting despite weaker form in the last five matches. Pescara occupies the last, 20th place in the table with only 2 victories in the season and an alarming record of 0 wins in the last 5 matches. The hosts have a very poor winning rate at home (17%), conceding an average of 1.58 goals per match. Catanzaro, from 6th place in the table, presents significantly better overall statistics (9 wins in the season) and an advantage in possession (56% vs 51%). Although the visitors have a similar goal difference on the road (-3 like Pescara at home), their higher xG coefficient (1.36) and better table position give them the edge. A draw is also realistic due to Pescara's high Draw% at home (42%) and the current weaker form of both teams.
