In the last six meetings between Pisa and Catanzaro, four ended 0-0, and the remaining two were a 2-2 draw and a 2-0 win for Catanzaro (Dec 23). But this time around could be different, as Pisa just opened their season with a 0-1 loss to Calcio Padova in Serie B on Aug 23, while Catanzaro also just lost 3-2 to Vicenza in Serie B on Aug 21. Both teams are desperate for their first points, so the game is likely to be more open than usual. Additionally, Catanzaro's defensive lapses are heavy in the second half, especially in the 76-90 minute period, where they concede 44% of all their goals, a time when Pisa tends to score more and more. The first thing to watch after kickoff is whether Catanzaro's defense can handle Pisa's aggression in the 31-45 minute period, where the home side scores 25% of their total goals.
