Competition: Italy Serie B

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Cittadella are in the 9th position while the guests worry at 18th.

It's no vacation for neither Cittadella nor Livorno as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Cittadella form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie B, Cittadella have managed 2 wins, 0 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 4 games.

Cittadella manager R. Venturato and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Pordenone (placed 10th) in the Serie B. Ahead of that match, Cittadella lost 1-3 at home to Cosenza.

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 Cittadella have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 16 games) they have won 7 times, drawn 4 and lost 5.

Cittadella has scored 5 league goals at home this season, in 4 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Cittadella defense is not exactly impregnable. 7 goals conceded from 4 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Livorno form and stats

The visitors, who have the fewest scored goals (1) away in Serie B, are W0-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Serie B.

The supporters enjoyed Livorno's previous game versus Pisa (placed 14th), a Serie B 1-0 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Frosinone wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

We have checked recent matches where Livorno have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those seven games were W1-D2-L4.

A quick return to home after this game, as Livorno are hosting Juve Stabia in the Serie B only four days away.

Livorno are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 4 away games. As opposed to that, Livorno have seen the ball go into their own net 5 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Cittadella-Livorno H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Cittadella 4 wins, Livorno 2 wins, 4 draws. 5 of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
