The 35th day of Serie B features Catanzaro-Palermo: the Calabrians are coming off a 2-2 draw against Carrarese, while the Rosanero suffered a 2-1 defeat against Bari.

Here Catanzaro

Catanzaro is coming off a 2-2 draw against Carrarese, the Calabrians are in 6th place in the play-off zone, but have not won since the mid-March derby against Cosenza. The team of Fabio Caserta cannot afford any more missteps, especially against a direct competitor like Palermo.

Coach Caserta will not have La Mantia, Pontisso, and Quagliata available, but most importantly Pittarello, a significant absence. The Calabrians’ coach will line up in a 3-5-2 formation, with a defense composed of Brighenti, Scognamillo, and Bonini; a midfield consisting of Cassandro, Pompetti, Petriccione, Ilie, and Compagnon; and an attack with Iemmello and Biasci, who will replace Pittarello.

Here Palermo

Palermo comes from a 2-1 defeat against Bari, another defeat that came in the final minutes of the match, a real problem in this strange season for the Rosanero. Now, however, the team of Dionisi cannot afford any more mistakes, especially against a play-off contender like Catanzaro.

For these last matches, Dionisi will rely on the goals of Joel Pohjanpalo, with 9 goals in as many appearances, who perhaps, if he had been in Rosanero before, the season would have been different. The Rosanero coach will field a 3-4-2-1 formation with a defense composed of Baniya, Magnani, and Blin; a midfield consisting of Pierozzi, Gomes, Ranocchia, and Lund; and a lone striker Pohjanpalo supported by Brunori and Verre.
