Catania vs Parma FC Match Preview
Sebastian Giovinco, on loan from Juventus, had an outstanding performance in Parma's 2-0 win over Brescia, and he could be the crucial man once again in overcoming relegation candidates Catania. Former Milan striker Alberto Paloschi, a pint-sized, energetic customer with a knack for goal, is still out injured, but Parma do not seem to miss him as Giovinco and Valeri Bojinov seem the part in attack.
Catania forwards Maxi Lopez and Mascara will want to reinvigorate their side, and though Parma are in good form, Catania will fancy their chances against the Tardini side. After all, it is these sorts of encounters that have to yield some sort of return for Catania, so they can amass enough points to stay afloat in Serie A.
Much will also depend on Adrian Ricihiuti, as he provides the creative dimension for Catania. With him on his game, Catania have a chance of a victory. However, the most likely result is a 1-1 draw.
Catania vs Parma FC Match Report
Catania reminded optimists everywhere that Parma may have enjoyed a false dawn last week when they beat Brescia 2-0. Though they did not really impress in a 2-1 win over Parma, Catania nonetheless registered a gesture of defiance, indicating their will to stay up in Serie A.
Catania took the lead in the 12th minute when Giuseppe Mascara scored from the penalty spot, and they added another in the 82nd minute, taking the lead from an Antenucci penalty. Though Sebastian Giovinco pulled one back from a free-kick, Parma ultimately fell short. The frustration of the evening told on Alessandro Lucarelli and coach Marino, both of whom were dismissed.
