The stage is set for Serie B and Cittadella - Parma. In this preview you'll find stats, previous results, analysis, tendencies and news!
- Cittadella have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Parma have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Serie B. That game was also an away game, at Reggina. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Cittadella form and stats
Cittadella have played 5 Serie B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 216 minutes without scoring a league goal. O. Okwonkwo was the last player to find the net.
In their previous game, the manager E. Gorini led his Cittadella to a defeat in the Serie B match away at Monza. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Pier Cesare Tombolato. Heartbreak for Cittadella in their last match as Monza's M. D'Alessandro scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Alessio Vita (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.43/10. Vita hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus SPAL.This is expected to be a close game, with Cittadella perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Cittadella as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Cittadella has won seven of these, drawn two and lost three.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Cittadella as they are travelling to their away game against Reggina in the Serie B. That match is four days after this one.
The Cittadella fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. Cittadella have only conceded 4 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Parma form and stats
As the visiting team in Serie B matches, Parma have produced an overall stat of 1-2-2 so far.
Parma play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Reggina (placed 6th). Midfield player Franco Vázquez was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.05/10. Vázquez scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 6 of 6 times and had 38 successful passes (of 46 total).
Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Monza.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Parma playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were one Parma win, four draws and three defeats.
A new game in only four days for Parma, the Serie B home match versus Vicenza. Busy days.
Parma have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 10 goals from 5 away matches. Parma's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 9 goals from these trips.
