Catanzaro look to convert recent head-to-head supremacy into much-needed momentum when they welcome high-flying Mantova to the Stadio Nicola Ceravolo.
Catanzaro sit 18th with three points after five games, having experienced a slow start to the Serie B campaign. Giorgio Gorgone's side fell to a 2-1 defeat at Sampdoria last time out and have lost four of their five matches, but their sole victory of the campaign came on home turf in a 1-0 win over Carrarese.
Mantova occupy third place on 11 points after five games following an impressive, unbeaten start to the season. They were held to a 2-2 home draw against Pisa in their previous outing, though prior away victories include a 2-1 win at Carrarese and a 1-1 draw at Cesena.
