Coppa Italia, round of 32, and two Serie B sides open their seasons with something to prove. Catanzaro arrive with three wins from five recent outings but those results include two friendly victories, and their competitive form ended with back-to-back defeats to Palermo and Monza. Sudtirol, meanwhile, have not conceded a single goal across their last five matches, keeping five clean sheets in a row.
The numbers lean hard toward the visitors. Sudtirol's aggregates show 0 goals against and 5 clean sheets in 5 games, a defensive record that is borderline absurd. In the head-to-head, Catanzaro have just 1 win in 5 meetings, with 3 draws and 1 defeat, and BTTS has landed in 4 of those 5 clashes. Catanzaro scored in only 3 of their last 5 games, conceded in 3 as well.
Sudtirol at 3.50 is the bigger price I want. A side that has conceded nothing lately, travels light, and has a positive h2h record against the hosts. Cup football rewards organisation, and Sudtirol have it in abundance right now.
