Palermo will welcome Catanzaro to Stadio Renzo Barbera in the second leg of the Serie B promotion playoffs semifinals on Wednesday. Both teams were in the playoffs last season as well and will look to go all the way this season.
I Rosanero failed to score for the second match in a row last week as they suffered a 3-0 away defeat in the first leg. Interestingly, they conceded at least two goals for the third consecutive match and will look to improve upon their defensive performance here.
Thanks for the submission!
Aquile del Sud secured a second consecutive 3-0 win in the first leg, making the most of their home advantage to take a comfortable lead on aggregate. Pietro Iemmello bagged a brace, and Mattia Liberali added the third goal in the 40th minute.
