Catanzaro host Padova seeking first win under Mignani
Catanzaro seek a desperately needed lift at home after a slow start, while seventh-placed Padova aim to build on consecutive wins in their pursuit of promotion play-off standing.
Catanzaro sit 20th with five points after nine games, having had a slow start to the campaign. With only nine matches played and 29 remaining, they are still finding their feet, though recent results have shown defensive frailties following heavy home defeats like the 6-1 loss against Ascoli. Following the dismissal of Gorgone, new coach Mignani took the reins and stabilized proceedings slightly with a 1-1 draw at Benevento in the midweek round.
Padova sit seventh with 13 points after nine games, occupying a spot that would lead to the promotion play-offs. After a brief wobble involving consecutive home defeats to Carrarese and Virtus Entella, the Biancoscudati have produced strong momentum, securing back-to-back victories with a 1-0 away win at Avellino followed by a 2-0 home triumph against Sudtirol.
