Catania began this game on three points, determined to topple the league leaders Atalanta. The Bergamasci have had the best of starts to the 2008/2009 season, winning both of their games to top Serie A tied with Lazio on 6 points. If they were expecting a win in this one to make it three out of three then they were sorely mistaken. Catania are no push over at home and they proved this again against the Nerazzurri, beating them 1-0 with a low drive from Michele Paolucci. The result brings Catania to six points; tie with Atalanta.

The team has quickly returned to training after yesterday’s win and two players have returned after being forced to miss the Atalanta game. Christian Terlizzi and Giacomo Tedesco were seen training with the team, and so it is safe to say that they have recovered from the flu and back pain that were the causes of their temporary absence from the squad.

The team is looking more compact and dangerous under coach Walter Zenga, who came in at the end of the last season to save the Sicilians from relegation. The return of Tedesco and Terlizzi gives the coach more options and adds depth to the squad.
