Catanzaro desperately need points on Friday, May 14 at 3:00 PM in the Serie B. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Empoli come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 3L). Catanzaro travel struggling badly (1W 4L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours Empoli here — they've won 4 of 5 previous meetings against Catanzaro. Their last encounter ended in Empoli won 2–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.6 per game in recent meetings.

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