These two teams have had problems getting enough points so far, but a win and three points in this vital match would definitely be a big help. Prepare for Como - Cittadella!
- Como haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
- Cittadella have the fewest scored goals (13) in Serie B
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Como form and stats
3 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Como have to build on here at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia in the Serie B. When Como hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Cagliari, SPAL, Venezia, Como, Cosenza and Perugia), they have won 2 of 4 matches!
A good away victory last time out for Como, who won 3-0 against Ternana (placed 8th). Finally, a league victory after five games without one. Midfield player Arrigoni got a match rating of 8.63 in that game, the max score being 10. Arrigoni served one assist, hit five key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Reggina (0-1).This is expected to be a close game, with Como perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Como as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Como has won 3 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.
Como's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 10 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. Como has at home met teams with this table position (low), four times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 3 of 4 times.
Cittadella form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Cittadella so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-4 (win-draw-lose). It's a growing despair in Cittadella as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
Antonucci was the last player to score for the away team. Cittadella haven't scored a league goal in the last 298 minutes.
Home advantage was not enough for Cittadella in their previous game as they lost hosting Südtirol, 0-2. Perticone was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.32. The defender Perticone won 7 of 9 duels.
Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Benevento's place.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Cittadella playing away and similar expectations, we found 14 relevant matches. Results were 2 Cittadella wins, 7 draws and 5 defeats.
Few goals the story here? 10 of this club's latest 12 league matches have contained two or less goals.
The visitors have scored 6 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Cittadella have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Head-to-head numbers (for the prior two meetings): Como won zero games, one match ended with a tie and Cittadella managed one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: two / zero. The games between these sides sometimes lean towards being ill-tempered, having seen 2 sending-offs from the last two duels. Baldini likes to meet Como and have scored 3 goals in these encounters.
