Today’s Soccer Prediction Siena – Catania

Siena and Catania will meet on Thursday, June 6, at 21.45 on the “Artemio Franchi” stadium, in the semi-finals of the Third League promotion playoffs in the second Italian league. This confrontation in Serie C is disputed by the round-trip system, and this will be the first leg.

At the end of the regular season, Siena gained 67 points and ranked second in the series, after Livorno, who promoted directly to Serie B. In the playoffs, Siena entered the quarterfinals thanks to the place busy in the championship and eliminated Reggiana after 2-1 home and 1-2 away. Even if the score was equal, no extensions were played because the qualifying criteria were the regular season points and goals.

Siena is a formation that usually plays tactically when playing at home, and there are not many goals scored in the matches. In 8 of the last 9 games played on their own arena, there were not more than 2 goals scored. The exception is the very last play-off meeting.
Catania gained 70 points at the end of the season, ending second in the ranking, behind Lecce leader who promoted directly. Like her Wednesday opponent, Catania entered the play-off straight into the quarter-finals, where she eliminated a double-handed FeralpiSalo after a 1-1 away and a 2-0 win on the home match on June 3 .

Siena – Catania Prediction

We can see, therefore, that in the previous two games of Catania there were not more than two goals scored. Given that we will face another round-trip confrontation, I do not think we will have much success and I expect a match with a cautious evolution of both teams and few goals.

Prediction Today: Total Goals – Under 2.5 goals
