Catania host Monopoli on Sunday, Jan 10 at 3:00 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 1 point in the Serie C – Group C, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Catania come into this fixture in good form (3W 0D 2L recently). Monopoli travel in mixed form (2W 2D 1L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours Catania here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Monopoli, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Catania won 0–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Catania a slight edge, but Monopoli are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
