Catania will look to curb the current crisis at the club with a victory over Serie A new boys Bari on Saturday evening. With Inter looming on the fixture list in the next two weeks, it's three points or bust for Atzori who is battling for his coaching life right now.
Andrea Romeo from Verona will be the referee for Bari - Catania.
The match will be broadcast by Sky Sport HD 1 and Dahlia Tv.
Catania coach Gianluca Atzori has admitted that he was disappointed with his side not being able to take home all three points against Roma on Sunday.
Speaking after the match to Novantesimo.it, the Sicilian boss said that the Etnei had created many opportunities, but failed to convert them.
"I am not happy about the final result, because we created lots of opportunities," Atzori affirmed post-match.
"The team was motivated to take home the three points, but we weren't able to do so."
Atzori also discussed the refereeing situation, which he believes has gone against his club, even though management has specifically told him not to comment on the issue.
He continued, "Isn't it strange that the corner from which [Daniele De Rossi] scored is the one that hurts us the most.
"In Udine [against Udinese], a penalty was not there and on Wednesday [against Atalanta], the referees did not give us a spot-kick when it was clearly there.
"They are ultimately points that have been taken away from us," Atzori summed up.
Catania coach Gianluca Atzori insists they're capable of defeating Roma today.
"I won't be happy with a point," said Atzori. "We know the strength of our opponents, but when playing on home turf a team must always aim for the full result.
"The attitude we showed in Bergamo was a comforting sign and I hope we continue like this."
Atzori admits the lack of form from Giuseppe Mascara ahs influence their poor start to the season.
"To be honest, Mascara is not the same player he was last season," confessed the Coach. "I hope he can soon return to his level, as he is crucial for us."
Japanese forward Takayuki Morimoto, who scored twice against the Lupi last season, is looking forward to the game.
"Yes, I did score two goals and I hope to do it again and redeem myself," Morimoto said during Friday's press conference.
"I feel good and I am just lacking a bit of good luck. I will try and train hard to make fewer mistakes. I know that the fans expect a lot of me, but I can guarantee you that I always give my all on the pitch."
The 21-year-old has two goals to his name so far this season, but both of them proved to be futile as Catania lost to Sampdoria at home and were hammered 4-2 by Udinese at the Friuli.
Atalanta host Catania at the Stadio Azzurri D?Italia on Wednesday evening in a game that will see the debut in Serie A of Antonio Conte, who will coach of the home side following the sacking of Angelo Gregucci.
The Nerazzurri had a disastrous first four matches, in which they failed to collect any points, conceding four consecutive defeats, which have left them rock bottom.
After three consecutive defeats in the opening three rounds, Catania finally got some points on the board following a 1-1 draw with Lazio.
The Elefanti took the lead in the first period following a powerful strike by Jorge Alvarez who had combined well with Takayuki Morimoto to break open the Lazio defence.
The visitors came fighting back in the second period and with an inspired substation from Davide Ballardini; Julio Cruz repaid his coach as hit headed home after coming on from the bench.
As Catania prepare to welcome an exhausted Lazio side to the Stadio Massimino on Sunday afternoon, club president Antonino Pulvirenti has professed the Elefanti's ability despite the fact they remain pointless at the bottom of the Serie A table.
"We have worked well all week and it is about time we reaped the fruits of our hard work," Pulvirenti declared to Datasport.
"Lazio are a very strong opponent, but we aren't inferior to them. Marco Biagianti and Ciro Capuano have both recovered from injuries, and their returns will be a boost for the side."
"I'm expecting a great showing from my men tomorrow. We must get some points at all costs, and therefore the side must be decisive from start to finish. I understand the fans are suffering right now, but I hope they will push the side towards what could be a very important result."
Lazio will be without Italian striker Tommaso Rocchi for the clash.
Rocchi sustained a right thigh injury during training and will be sidelined for at least a week.
Argentina striker Mauro Zarate is expected to return to the starting line-up for Sunday's game having been rested against Juve in the last round.

Rising Japanese star Takayuki Morimoto scored another Serie A goal on Sunday but it wasn't enough to guide Catania to a win.
The 21-year old netted his second goal for the season in the 11th minute to give his side the lead before Udinese's Antonio Floro Flores equalised in the 29th minute. Catania again took the lead when Giuseppe Mascara converted from the spot just after the half-hour mark.
But it took a brilliant second-half hat-trick from Antonio Di Natale to give Udinese a 4-2 win and allowed them to leapfrog to seventh on the table as Catania slumped to their third defeat from the opening three games and sit on the bottom.

Udinese - Catania Highlights
Catania coach Gianluca Atzori has called on his team to have greater self-belief as they prepare for Sunday's match at Udinese.
The Sicilian outfit are still searching for their first points of the season following two straight defeats and will be desperate to end that run on Sunday.
"We need to forget about our defeats to Sampdoria and Parma and get it in our heads that we are a good side," said Atzori. "I have a good team with good quality players.
"Now we travel to the Stadio Friuli to meet Udinese knowing that we face a difficult side but aware that we can compete against them.
"We cannot go into the game with a losers' mentality.
Atzori knows his team must show a huge improvement when playing away from Sicily if they are to avoid relegation.
"We must get points away from home," he said. "You cannot have a drop in form when playing on the road. We have to try to find the right balance and show our quality whether we play in Catania or elsewhere."
Catania general manager Pietro Lo Monaco claims Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is a fan of Japanese striker Takayuki Morimoto.
Although the promising marksman is yet to play for his country he is regarded as one of the best young players in Serie A.
AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato recently compared the 21-year-old to Brazilian legend Ronaldo.
Lo Monaco has hinted the club will cash in on Morimoto next summer and that they have already fielded offers from England and France for the youngster.
United have been linked with the former Tokyo Verdy striker and Lo Monaco feels they could make their move once the auction begins.
"We'll transfer him to a big club at the end of the season," Lo Monaco told Asahi Shimbun.
"We, only a small club, can do nothing more for him.
"We've already received important offers from England and France this summer as well.
"Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson also highly rates him."
Catania striker Takayuki Morimoto has been called up for the first time for his country for friendlies against the Netherlands and Ghana, the Japan Football Association announced on Friday.
Morimoto, who moved to the Italian side in 2006 after three seasons with J.League side Tokyo Verdy, has scored nine goals in 42 Serie A games. He also netted in the season-opener last weekend against Sampdoria.
Japan coach Takeshi Okada has described the 21-year-old as powerful and "strong in front of goal."
Japan will play the Netherlands in Enschede on 5 September and Ghana in Utrecht on 9 September as part of their preparations for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
Espanyol midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura, Junichi Inamoto of Rennes, Makoto Hasebe of Wolfsburg and the in-form Keisuke Honda of Dutch side Venlo will join Morimoto from European clubs.
First-choice goalkeeper Seigo Narazaki will miss the Dutch tour after fracturing a finger during a J.League match last week. He needs ten weeks to fully recover.
Morimoto will be the fifth Catania player called for the next national matches in september after Sciacca (Italy under 20), Bellusci (Italy under 21), Andujar (Argentina), Martinez (Uruguay).
Takayuki Morimoto has taken a press conference today before the training.
Japanese forward is very happy to have started the new season with a goal but disappointed because Catania has lost his first match at home against Sampdoria.
"I hope in Parma i'll be able to score a decisive goal for my team and let to Catania earn 3 points."
He has talked about his moment and his relation with the new team mates: "i like the new Catania players, they are very strong. I was impressed by Gennaro Delvecchio, he really seems a leader, he'll be very important for us".
The reporters (italians and japaneses) have made a lot of questions to him about Japanese national team because Takayuki Morimoto looks set for his first national team callup when Takeshi Okada names his squad for next week tour of the Netherlands.
"I'll be very happy if Mister Okada will call me for the next national team matches, i never been there, just only in youth national teams. If i'll be called by him, my mother will inform me by phone immidiately, i'm very excited for that".
A last minute goal from Daniele Gastaldello ensured Sampdoria snatched a late 2-1 win at Catania.
Giampaolo Pazzini got Sampdoria up and running but Takayuki Morimoto levelled before Augustyn Blazej was handed a red card.
And Sampdoria made their numerical advantage pay as Gastaldello struck in the dying moments to ensure three points.
Mister Atzori starts not so well his new adventure in Catania, but Catania supporters have appreciated the reaction after the first Sampdoria goal.
Catania has been very unlucky, now the sicilian team will play in Parma next week.
Luigi Del Neri's Samp left it late to claim all three points at stake and break their jinx in Sicily. Prior to Sunday, Samp's most recent positive result in Catania was a 0-0 draw on March 16, 2003

Catania will starts his new season in Italian Serie A against Sampdoria.
The match is programmed for 23 August at 8.45 p.m. in Massimino Stadium where Atzori is keen to get his Catania coaching career off to a winning start and hopes the intimidating confines of the home stadium will help his cause.
Catania boss Atzori will be without the services of Pablo Martin Ledesma and Pablo Barrientos who are nursing injuries.
Sampdoria president Riccardo Garrone was pleased to announce the capture of winger Franco Semioli from Fiorentina earlier this week. Del Neri will be missing Pietro Accardi who will miss out through injury.
Japan coach Takeshi Okada plans to call up emerging Catania striker Takayuki Morimoto for his first international cap to beef up the Blue Samurai's perennially feeble firepower.
Okada described the 21-year-old as powerful and "strong in front of goal" Thursday as he outlined his likely squad for friendlies in the Netherlands next month.
Japan will play the hosts -- ranked third in the world behind Brazil and Spain -- in Enschede on September 5 and Ghana in Utrecht on September 9 as part of their preparations for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Morimoto, who moved to Catania in 2006 after three seasons with J-League side Tokyo Verdy, has scored nine goals in 42 Serie A games.
Okada, who has ambitiously set Japan's World Cup target at a sem-final spot, is expected to call up 22 players for the Dutch tour with around six Europe-based players.
He is scheduled to formally announce his squad on August 28.
Apart from Morimoto, Okada said: "There is little possibility that I will call up untested players. We will go straight forward with what we have tried so far."
Despite qualifying for South Africa, Japan lacked punch up front, going down 2-1 away to Australia in their final qualifier and only drawing 1-1 with unfancied Qatar at home.
Not many Japanese football players play in big European leagues, and Catania striker Takayuki Morimoto is one of them. With an overall FTBL rating of 65.19 points, he ranks 2nd among forwards at the club and is the best Japanese striker at the moment on our chart.
Makoto Hasebe of German Bundesliga side Wolfsburg tops our rating of Japanese midfielders with 83.32 points, while the second spot is held by Espanyol?s Shunsuke Nakamura with a tally of 53.98 points.
Takayuki Morimoto has been labeled as a rising star for Catania, after showing plenty of promise last season and scoring seven times. The former Tokyo Verdy player would like to continue his positive spell.
"It is obvious during the pre-season we will have to work hard physically. I'm the man closest to the goal now, I will have to make fewer mistakes," he said to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"I would like to improve, so I can do better every season. Catania has given me confidence. I am 21-years-old, but playing in an experienced team and against highly skilled defenders."
Catania were successful last year, staying out of the relegation race for the duration of the season and Morimoto is hoping for a repeat performance, starting with the kick-off of Serie A next weekend..
"I think we can have an ambitious season, starting immediately with obtaining salvation. every day that passed I feel in better form, I hope to show that against Sampdoria."
Takayuki Morimoto is determinated: "I must to score more, i'd like to score more than 10 goals in the next season".
Japanese striker talks about his magic moment: "next season will be very important for me, Mister Aztori said that i'll be one of the most important strikers in Catania team and so i'll get more oportunity to play and score".
Walter Zenga has revealed that he will step down as Catania manager at the end of the season.
"I am finished with this period at Catania," he told Sky Italia.
"The last 14 months have been really good but I want to leave now in a positive manner, with a good relationship with the club. I have no regrets about this decision.
Catania bounced back from the indignity of suffering four straight defeats with a dramatic 3-1 win over Napoli.
The men from Naples went ahead through Mariano Bogliacino on 27 minutes, but failed to hold onto that lead.
Takayuki Morimoto pulled the scores level four minutes before the interval, before late efforts from Giuseppe Mascara (pen 88) and Vito Falconieri (90) brought welcome relief to the Angelo Massimino Stadium.
Watch the highlights
Catania will welcome Napoli to the Stadio Angelo Massimino in their penultimate match of the Serie A season. There is nothing really left to play for but the Sicilian outfit will want to snap their winless streak and give their home supporters something to cheer about on Sunday.

Speaking to Corriere dello Sport, Milan forward Alexandre Pato has dubbed Takayuki Morimoto, the Catania forward, as the most impressive young player in Serie A this season.
When asked which of his fellow rookies had caught his eye this term, the Brazil striker said:
"Surely, it's the Japanese player Takayuki Morimoto of Catania. 'Japanese Ronaldo' He reminds me in the movements and his bald head of my idol, Ronaldo.
"In fact they call him the 'Japanese Ronaldo'. Morimoto is very different from me, because he plays closer to the penalty area."
Christian Panucci's injury-time strike sealed a dramatic victory for Roma in their seven-goal thriller with Catania in Serie A.
The match had always looked likely to produce fireworks after three goals in four minutes had put Roma 2-1 up within the first quarter of an hour, Simone Perotta and Mirko Vucinic netting either side of a strike from Giacomo Tedesco.
Perotta then made it 3-1 on the half hour, but Giuseppe Mascara pulled one back almost immediately after the restart and Takayuki Morimoto equalized with 20 minutes to go.
