Ninety minutes to decide the finalist of the Serie B playoff final. Cremonese starts with an advantage, Catanzaro must win: analysis and planning of the match
At the “Zini” the second finalist of the Serie B playoffs. Only one of them Cremonese And Catanzaro will go on to challenge the winner of the match between Venice and Palermo to compete for promotion to Serie A and Stroppa’s team starts with a slight advantage, given the 2-2 draw in the first leg.
Serie B playoffs, how Cremonese and Catanzaro arrive
In the first match we saw two different scripts. The first with Cremonese as the absolute protagonist, capable of going 2-0 at the “Ceravolo” without suffering too much. The second instead with a lively Catanzaro capable of showing off the great game he has expressed throughout the season. Vivarini was able to count on a great entry into the field of Brignola, who with his freshness split the match. This can be a variable and a key tactic also in view of the return leg, where a less timid team will be needed from the first minutes of the game.
The regulations of the Serie B playoffs
In case of a tie between the outward and return journeys the best ranked team of the season will qualify for the playoff final, without extra time and penalties. So Catanzaro needs a victory to continue dreaming of promotion to Serie A external.
