Hellas Verona – Catanzaro

Hellas Verona host Catanzaro in what promises to be a decisive clash for the mid‑table side, who sit sixth with seven points from five games – two wins, a draw and two defeats, and a modest +3 goal difference (10‑7). Catanzaro, languishing in 19th place, have managed only three points, courtesy of a solitary victory and a -4 goal margin (5‑9) after four losses. Verona will be looking to consolidate their push for a European spot, while the struggling Calabrians must pick up points to steer clear of the relegation zone. The contrast in form and goal records sets the stage for a potentially one‑sided encounter at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi.
