Cesena vs Catanzaro prediction, odds and how to watch

Sampdoria ended a four-match losing streak in Serie B with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Catanzaro, with Lorenzo Insigne and substitute Tjas Begic providing the goals after Stefan Gartenmann's own goal gave the home side a half-time lead.

Cristian Shpendi gave Cesena the lead at the half-hour mark but Antonio Di Nardo's second-half equaliser earned Juve Stabia a hard-fought draw in Serie B on Friday night. A game of genuine effort and no shortage of incident, but neither side could find a winner.

Pietro Iemmello's 83rd-minute right-foot finish settled a tight Serie B contest at Catanzaro, giving the hosts a victory their pressure probably deserved. Carrarese arrived with a poor recent record and left with nothing.

Cesena led through Cristian Shpendi's brace but Cremonese showed real desire in the second half, with Michele Collocolo and Federico Bonazzoli completing a remarkable comeback in Serie B.

Cesena have drawn three of their last five Serie B matches and kept zero clean sheets in that run. Avellino arrive with five wins from their last ten and a defence that has kept opponents out in half of those games.

Hellas Verona host Catanzaro on Friday night with both sides carrying inconsistent form and questions that need answering. This is a fixture neither team can afford to treat lightly.

Catanzaro arrive at this Serie B fixture having lost four of their last five matches, while Mantova roll into town with three wins from their last five. Something has to give.

Benevento head into Saturday's Serie B clash without a win in their last three completed matches, while Cesena have drawn more often than they have won or lost. Something has to give.
