US Catanzaro Team Overview
Catanzaro also started the new season with a defeat, but their numbers over a longer run look better than their opponents'. In their last ten matches they have won four and lost six, averaging exactly two goals per game. Their defence is hard to call reliable, though - they concede an average of 1.7 goals per match, which means their attacking output does not always translate into results. Three defeats in their previous five matches point to their current inconsistency, but in terms of attacking potential the visitors are noticeably ahead of Pisa.

Outcome Prediction
Catanzaro look solid on the Handicap +1.5: they have not lost by more than one goal in 12 of their last 14 matches. Pisa, meanwhile, have not won a single match this season and have won just once in their last 29. Given Pisa's poor scoring record - an average of 0.4 goals per game across their last 10 matches - and their frequent defeats, Catanzaro's handicap advantage looks a reasonable call. This option is available at 1.33*.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Pisa are considered favourites for this match, but their attacking problems have not gone away. Catanzaro are unlikely to open up much on the road either, and will probably look to stay solid defensively above all else. Having both lost in the opening round, the two sides may play it fairly cautiously to avoid another defeat. Our bet is therefore Total Goals - Under 2.5.
