  • 55' Supporters expect more eagerness from Marco Pompetti, as he is very good at scoring at Nicola Ceravolo with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
  • 60' US Catanzaro seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
