Pisa-Catanzaro is a match of the thirty-fifth matchday of Serie B and will be played on Friday at 8.30pm: probable lineups, predictions, live TV and streaming.
The Catanzaro he is almost certain to play the playoffs. The same cannot be said of Pisa, who will still have to sweat in these last four days to get back into the top eight and secure a place in the upcoming post-season. The Tuscans have 44 points, one less than eighth-placed Sampdoria, while the Calabrians are on 56 and have just wasted the great opportunity to nibble on fourth-placed Cremonese.
Vincenzo’s team Vivarini, stable for several months now in the noble areas of the table despite the status of newly promoted, a week ago did not go beyond a draw in the direct clash with Stroppa’s grey-reds (0-0), maintaining fifth place but remaining at -4 from the Lombards. Once the dreams of direct promotion have vanished once and for all, Catanzaro will try to stay in the running for at least third and fourth place, in order to bypass the preliminary round of the playoffs. The Giallorossi have only suffered two defeats from February onwards and both occurred at the “Ceravolo” (Reggiana and Como). The Pisa instead it only started to hit the ground running two months ago and in the last eight matchdays the only defeats have been both in Lombardy (Como and Brescia). Last Saturday Alberto’s men Aquilani they drew 1-1 at San Nicola di Bari against a team in difficulty like the red and white team.
