Cittadella form and stats

Only two Serie B home games for Cittadella so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.

The Cittadella manager Gorini and his crew return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Ascoli (placed 4th). The goalie Kastrati was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.63 out of ten. Kastrati topped it up with a clean sheet.

In the match before that, Cittadella hosted Venezia and drew the game 1-1.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Cittadella have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 12 matches with the results: Won 5, drawn 4 and lost 3.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Cittadella at home in the league. 5 on target and 4 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Frosinone form and stats

Things could have gone better for Frosinone in their Serie B away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

Mulattieri and Kone scored in Frosinone's previous match, the home game against Como that ended 2-0. Midfielder Boloca was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.82. Boloca hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 4 of 5 times and had 43 successful passes (of 50 total).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Benevento wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Frosinone playing away and similar expectations, we found 15 relevant matches. Results were 6 Frosinone wins, 6 draws and 3 defeats.

Frosinone have the goal stats of 2-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
