Venue: Stadio Pier Cesare Tombolato (7623 seats)

Cittadella and Reggina have delivered a "par" performance until now, to use a golfing expression. The teams both occupy mid-table spots in the Serie B.

Insights:
  • Cittadella have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Reggina have conceded at least twice as many corners as they have won away.

Reggina have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Cittadella form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie B, Cittadella have managed 6 wins, 3 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 14 games.

The Cittadella manager Gorini and his crew return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Parma (placed 14th).

Ahead of that match, Cittadella lost 1-2 at home to Monza.

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 13 games) they have won six times, drawn five and lost two.

The Cittadella fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 14 matches.

Reggina form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie B travels is 4 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats.

The manager Stellone was unhappy after their last game, played at their home stadium Stadio Oreste Granillo. Reggina suffered a 0-1 loss to Perugia (placed 9th). Defender Chiara was the best team player with a rating of 7.31. Chiara hit four key passes and won 3 of 3 duels.

Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Parma.

Reggina are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, one draw and four defeats. From a total of eight matches.

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