Italian Serie A

Catania took fantastic three points last weekend against Lazio in Rome, and 1-0 victory moved them to 16th place in the table. Catania are on a good run of form at the moment and with wins against Parma, Lazio and Bologna, and two draws against Udinese and Sampdoria, they lost only one game in the last six rounds in the Italian Serie A.

Catania boss Sinisa Mihajlovic is without Marchese, Plasmati, Martinez and Carboni, and Delvecchio, Andujar, Mascara, Alvarez, Biagianti and Silvestri are doubtful.

Atalanta is second from bottom in Serie A. Last weekend they won against Bari 1-0 at home, but on the travels they are one of the worst teams in league. They will be without Barreto and De Ascentis today, while Garics, Pellegrino, Capelli, Manfredini and Padoin are doubtful.

Catania were bad at home this season, and if they can't win against poor travellers Atalanta they will be in big problems. Home win, but 0-0 draw in ugly game wouldn't be a big surprise, so draw cover should be good idea.
