Cittadella form and stats

Cittadella have played 16 Serie B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-7-5 (wins-draws-losses). When Cittadella hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Frosinone, Cagliari, Reggina, Sudtirol and Bari 1908), they have won 2 of 5 matches! We have seen two home losses in a row now for Cittadella, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The Cittadella manager Gorini and his side return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Cosenza (placed 16th). The forward Antonucci outperformed all teammates in that match and got a match rating of 7.85 out of 10. Antonucci scored one goal and hit two key passes.

Before that game, the home loss against Parma with the scoreline 0-1.

Genoa form and stats

As the visiting team in Serie B matches, Genoa have produced an overall stat of 8-4-4 so far. In general it has been a productive period now for Genoa as they haven't lost any of their last ten games.

The supporters enjoyed Genoa's previous game versus Perugia (placed 17th), a 2-0 win played at home. Defender Criscito was the best team player with a rating of 8.3. Criscito hit two key passes and won 9 of 10 duels.

Preceding that game, the 2-2 draw paying a visit to Como.

Look out: 10 of the latest 12 league matches featuring this team have had only one (or no) team scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting terms).

Genoa have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 16 league away games 21 goals have been scored. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (15 so far).

Head 2 Head

Genoa - Cittadella 0-1 was the end result in these contenders' previous head-to-head game, earlier this season.
