Cittadella have performed better than Juve Stabia so far this season, but every game starts at 0-0. Here's all you need to know about the upcoming game:

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Juve Stabia have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 16-19-8 (win-draw-loss) from 43 matches.

Cittadella form and stats

Cittadella have collected 15 points from their Serie B home games so far after 4-3-5. With Cittadella having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager R. Venturato.

A good away victory last time out for Cittadella, who won 2-1 against Pescara (placed 12th). Ahead of that match, Cittadella lost 1-2 at home to Empoli.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Cittadella's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played ten games, won four matches, drawn four and lost two.

Cittadella are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 12 games. Cittadella have conceded 19 from these games.
