Good afternoon to all friends of Tutto Venezia Sport from Davide Marchiol and welcome to the live text of Catanzaro-Venice, a match valid for the thirty-sixth matchday of Serie B. The Calabrians are coming off two draws which however were still useful in nibbling away at Cremonese who are fourth in the standings, a position valid for skipping the preliminaries of the playoffs. Three very important points are also up for grabs for the orange-green team, who want to continue to keep pace with second-placed Como in the fight for direct promotion.
