Catanzaro vs Padova tips and predictions

Padova might not have things all their own way

The short price for Padova renders them unbackable. Catanzaro don't look likely to get the win but they might cause the visitors plenty of problems. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick.

These sides have impressed at the back. Looking secure at home Catanzaro have conceded only 2 goals in their last 5 matches, while Padova have conceded only 1 goal in their last 4 matches.

Padova are the favourites and they'll be looking to keep a clean sheet. It might not stand out but the BTTS No bet would be sensible.

Catanzaro have drawn 4 of their last 8 matches, including their most recent match when they drew 1-1 with Vibonese at home in December. Padova have drawn 8 of their last 17 matches and while the prediction is for any deadlock, a scoreline of 0-0 cannot be written off here. The feeling is it will be a close encounter but the pick has to be with draw and a deadlock sounds like more than a fair shout.
