Brescia form and stats

As mentioned below, Brescia are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 3 Serie B games. There’s a good atmosphere here at Stadio Mario Rigamonti after three straight home wins.

Brescia lost their last game at Bari 1908 (placed 2nd) after a 2-6 scoreline. The first defeat after going undefeated in four league fixtures. As you see from the result above, Brescia suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Midfield player Bertagnoli got a match rating of 6.84 in that game, the max score being 10. Bertagnoli served one assist, hit three key passes and had 35 successful passes (of 38 total).

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Benevento in a game that was won 1-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Brescia have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 11 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 6 and lost 2.

The Brescia fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 5 goals in 3 league matches. Defensively Brescia have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 3 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Cittadella form and stats

The Serie B season is young and Cittadella have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.

Cittadella have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 180 minutes ago. Beretta was the goal scorer.

Cittadella failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Ternana (placed 5th) that ended with defeat 0-2. Midfielder Branca was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.31. Branca hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Reggina's place.

We have checked recent matches where Cittadella have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 14 games were 2 victories, 6 draws and 6 defeats.

Cittadella are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. As for defending, Cittadella rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 5 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Cittadella have pulled off a sequence of 9 consecutive games without losing (4-5-0) when facing Brescia.
