'Zampa' claimed his side will thrash Catania, but Lo Monaco believes derby matches are not so easy to call.

"Zamparini is used to coming out with big remarks. We are playing them on an equal level and we have nothing to envy them for. We will do everything to ensure his predictions don't come true."

The Rossoazzurri would find themselves rock bottom of the league if they lose and Siena win next weekend.
