Cittadella are receiving Cosenza for yet another important game following their 1-3 result against 4th-placed Parma.

Insights:
  • Cosenza have the most conceded goals (23) in Serie B

Cosenza have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Cittadella and Cosenza should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Cittadella form and stats

2 victories, 3 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Cittadella have to build on here at Stadio Pier Cesare Tombolato in the Serie B. Cittadella have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

Cittadella faced defeat in their previous match, away at Parma (1-3). The first setback in the shape of a loss after collecting points in five league rounds. The gifted forward Antonucci outdid all others in that game and received a match rating of 7.42 out of 10. Antonucci scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Modena that ended 0-0.

It should be considered that a glance at the 10 most recent league games shows that 8 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the sides scored a goal).

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Cittadella at home in the league. 6 on target and 6 scored by the opposition; from 6 matches. Cittadella has at home met teams with this table position (low), two times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.

Cosenza form and stats

Cosenza have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 1-2-4 (7 played). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Cosenza are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

The fans enjoyed Cosenza's previous game versus Palermo (placed 13th), a 3-2 win played at home. That victory felt nice as this side had gone five league fixtures without winning. Goalkeeper Marson was absolutely vital in the Cosenza victory against Palermo, making six saves. Goalkeeper Marson got the top player rating of the team with 7.63/10. Marson saved a penalty.

Prior to that match, the Cosenza manager Dionigi faced defeat when travelling to Pisa and losing 1-3.

Will there be lots of goals? This team have played 7 consecutive league matches all ending with three or more than three goals (over 2.5 goals).

The attacking power of Cosenza when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 7 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Cosenza have put together a streak of 4 consecutive games without losing (1-3-0) when playing Cittadella.
