Bitesize Prediction: Catanzaro vs Pescara – 21/11/25

Competition: Serie B

Market: Catanzaro win

Odds: 8/11 @ Pribet

Seeking an immediate Serie B response on Friday night, Catanzaro will welcome Pescara to the Stade Nicola Ceravolo.

Starting with the hosts, last seen heading into November’s international break with a 1-0 loss away at Empoli, Catanzaro will know the importance of claiming an immediate response here. Getting Friday’s showdown underway sat just one-point adrift of finding a route back into the play-off spots, the Southern Eagles will certainly be excited to make a return to Calabria this weekend. Getting November underway with a 2-1 win at home against Venezia, Alberto Aquilani’s men have won three of their previous four Serie B appearances. Likewise, signing off October with a dominant 3-1 victory away at Mantova, the former Pisa boss has also seen his squad register consecutive wins at the Stade Nicola Ceravolo for the first time since back in February. With their sights firmly set on punching another play-off ticket this season, Catanzaro should also be excited by a dominant historic record against Friday’s guests. In fact, Aquilani’s side have registered 10 points from their last four competitive showdowns against the Dolphins.

As for the visitors, while Pescara might have only made their Serie B return this season, the Abruzzo-based outfit have endured a public second-tier nightmare. Last seen heading into November’s international break with a routine 2-0 defeat at home against Monza, the Dolphins are already sat five points adrift of safety and are widely regarded as a standout relegation candidate this year. Getting November underway with a woeful 5-0 drumming at the hands of Palermo, Friday’s guests have registered just a single victory from any of their first 12 Serie B appearances. Bracing themselves for what looks set to be another stern examination when they travel to the Stade Nicola Ceravolo this weekend, Pescara have also gained a reputation for their glaring defensive struggles. Including a 4-1 loss against fellow strugglers Sampdoria on October 5th, the Dolphins have already shipped 25 Serie B goals this season and comfortably hold the worst defensive tally among Italy’s second-tier.
