Catania starts the new year with a game at home against Ragusa with a special guest just arrived from Australia (see picture above).
Despite Ragusa is the 7th biggest sicilian city, only 2 times in all their history their team played in Catania. The first time in 1978, in Serie C, Catania won 1-0 thanks to a goal of Morra (after Biagianti, the player with most appeareances in all competitions for Catania). The second time in 1994, in Serie D, the score was 0-0 and at the end of that year Catania was promoted in Serie D.
This season the two teams already played in Ragusa. It was the first game of the season and the score was 2-0 for Catania with Lodi and Sarao goals (see picture below).
Ragusa is currently at the 8th position in the ladder, 20 points less than Catania which is in 1st position. In second position Locri and Lamezia Terme are following Catania with 10 points of differences. Locri plays at home against S. Maria del Cilento (the only team that so far has beaten Catania) and Lamezia plays in Canicatti'.
Catania is traditionally not very lucky on the first game of a new year, we hope today to change the trend. Go Rossoazzurri!
