A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Match Preview :

Catania currently in 12th spot welcomes Parma who are just a point behind them in 13th spot to the Stadio Angelo Massimino.

Catania also have a game in hand after their game with A.S Roma was postponed for the final 35 minutes due to rain. Catania comes into this match with a strong home record of 4 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

While Parma have a dismal away record of five points (1-2-6) from an available 27 points available with four losses in the last six road matches/

Parma's most recent clash with Catania was just before Christmas in the reverse fixture, and it was a very entertaining match after Parma threw away a 3-1 lead in the final 15 minutes for a spectacular 3-3 draw at the Tardini.

Last season Catania won the home match 2-1 and take note that Parma have never won at the Stadio Angelo Massimino managing just one point from their last four visits.

They will miss the services of two key players for this match. Nicola Legrottaglie and Sergio Almiron both are out on suspensions. Meanwhile, Davide Lanzafame and Ciro Capuano are not fully fit while Gennaro Delvecchio and David Suazo are ready to be in the starting eleven.

Parma Team News :
Roberto Donadoni will take charge of his third match as manager of Parma, having beaten Siena and drawn the Emilia-Romagna derby with Bologna.

The manager will keep faith in the 3-4-3 formation as Sergio Floccari is set to partner Sebastian Giovinco and Jonathan Biabiany.

Graziano Pellé is carrying an injury otherwise he would be an option to consider. At the back Brandao steps in for the suspended Cristian Zaccardo, while new signings Stefano Ferrario and Stefano Okaka is likely to start from the bench.
