Catanzaro desperately need points on Saturday, Oct 24 at 5:15 PM in the Serie B. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Catanzaro come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 4L in last 5). Ascoli, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 1D 1L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Catanzaro head into this on the back of a defeat, while Ascoli arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Catanzaro and Ascoli have split their 6 meetings almost evenly (2W–1D–3W). Their last encounter ended in Catanzaro won 3–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Ascoli's quality should tell even on the road. Catanzaro will push, but the visitors have too much class. Ascoli to win.
