Cittadella form and stats

2-2-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for Cittadella so far this season.

The Cittadella goalkeeper Elhan Kastrati is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 332 minutes without conceding a goal in the Serie B.

Happy days for Cittadella in their previous game, a fixture away at Perugia (placed 20th) that ended with a 2-0 victory. Sweet to taste a league victory after five matches without. Perticone, defender, was given a rating of 7.34/10 in that game, top of the team. Perticone won 9 of 13 duels.

A 0-0 draw away before that, with Palermo the opponent.

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 4, drawn 4 and lost 4.

Low-scoring affair? In this club's last 10 league games, 8 have had less than three goals (under 2.5).

The Cittadella fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. Cittadella have conceded 6 in these home matches.

Modena form and stats

1 win, 0 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Modena playing as the away team in the Serie B this season.

Modena failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Palermo (placed 14th) that ended with defeat 0-2. Modena goalkeeper Gagno took pride in a super shift vs Palermo, but despite registering six saves the loss could not be helped.

Preceding that game, the 2-4 loss visiting Pisa's place.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 7 similar matches played by Modena in our archives, and the results are: 5 wins for Modena, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
