Padova – Catanzaro

Padova, sitting fifth with seven points from two wins, a draw and two losses, will host Catanzaro on their home turf. The visitors, languishing in nineteenth place with just three points after a solitary victory and four defeats, will be desperate to close a five‑goal deficit, having scored five and conceded nine. Padova’s narrow 5‑6 goal difference underscores a fragile defence that could be tested by Catanzaro’s occasional attacking spark. A win for the hosts would solidify their push for a top‑four finish, while a point for the Calabrians could be the first step toward climbing out of the relegation zone.
