SIENA v CATANIA PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

This is an intriguing match that could be closer than the current league tables suggest. Catania are just in the top half after a solid start to the season while Siena are one from bottom. However without the deduction of six points Siena would be eight places higher in the league and just one position behind Catania. However, with the handicap applied Siena are nine places and eight points below their opponents at the weekend. They actually have a marginally better goal differnce. Matches involving these sides are averaging almost 2.5 goals per game but this figure is nearer three when only Catania’s away matches are considered.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Siena drew their game away at Chievo even though the home side had a player dismissed. They had marginally more than 50% of the possession. Siena have the players to take advantage of fewer chances than the opposition with Emanuele Calaio their most likely scorer. Catania lost their recent match at Inter, despite having almost 49% of the possession. They appeared to have a problem in using the ball effectively to create goal scoring opportunities. However, that theory was dismissed after a stunning 4-0 defeat of Lazio at home, a game in which their share of possession was 39%. They had a goalless draw in their recent away match at Cagliari, conceding the majority of the possession but limiting their opponents to just four shots on goal.

SIENA - CATANIA PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

This is a fixture between two closely matched sides based on the number of point each have won this season to date. Siena have done well to overcome a six point handicap and a win in this game could see them out of the relegation places for the first time this season, but that depends on other results. Siena have only lost twice in their last six matches while Catania have lost their last two. Siena have a great incentive to win this match which is to reach 16th place in the league.Their home form is good enough to win this match and continue the process of negating the effect of their deduction of points.

Siena can be backed at 2.38 with BetVictor.

SIENA - CATANIA PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

The home side should be motivated to win this match as a win will have a profound effect on their standings as they will be away from the relegation places for the first time this season. Siena can establish an early lead and then look for more goals. The winning margin should be at least one even though Catania might score but in any case Siena should be backed giving up one goal.

Stan James quote 3.55 for Siena -1.

SIENA - CATANIA PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

Siena have scored just seven goals in as many matches at home and have conceded the same number of goals. However, due to a poor defensive record Catania’s away matches have seen almost three goals per game. Catania generally score on the road but are also likely to concede enough to lose the game and these facts all point to a game that will produce three goals or more. Both these sides’ last matches had four goals and a similar tally could be reached when they meet on Sunday.

Over 2.5 goals is 2.32 with Pinnacle Sports.
