Sudtirol - Catanzaro

Can Sudtirol maintain their unbeaten start to the Serie B campaign when they host Catanzaro at Stadio M. Druso on 5 September 2026? The hosts look to build on a solid opening stretch, including a narrow win against Virtus Entella, as they prepare their expected XI featuring Alessandro Plizzari in goal and the attacking trio of Rares Burnete, Vasco Lopes, and Bjarki Steinn Bjarkason. Hamza El Kaouakibi remains a significant absence for the home side, forcing tactical adjustments in their defensive setup.

Catanzaro arrive seeking a response after consecutive league defeats, including a recent loss to Pisa. The visitors will look to Pietro Iemmello and N'Dri Koffi to lead the line and test the home defense. These sides are already familiar with one another this season, having played out a 2-2 draw in the Coppa Italia on 15 August 2026. Both teams will aim to translate that competitive spirit into a crucial result in this matchday 3 encounter.
