Catanzaro - Carrarese

Pietro Iemmello remains the focal point for Catanzaro as they return to Stadio Nicola Ceravolo for this matchday 4 encounter on 12 September 2026. The experienced forward is expected to lead the line alongside N'Dri Koffi and Gabriele Alesi, tasked with sparking an attack that has struggled to find consistency in recent weeks. Following a difficult run that included a 2-0 defeat against Sudtirol and a narrow loss to Pisa, the hosts will look to tighten their defensive structure with Matias Antonini Lui and Marco Ruggero anchoring the backline in front of goalkeeper Mirko Pigliacelli.

Carrarese arrive seeking a turning point after a lean spell in the Serie B, highlighted by a 1-0 loss to Empoli. With Fabio Abiuso and Moustapha Cisse leading the expected XI, the visitors aim to exploit any gaps in the Catanzaro formation. Their recent head-to-head history suggests a competitive clash, as evidenced by a 3-3 draw in March 2026. Both sides are desperate to secure vital points to climb the table, making this a pivotal early-season fixture.
