The league table in Serie B tells a story about these teams so far, with Cittadella leading Salernitana by 6 points. Match preview to follow:
It's no vacation for neither Cittadella nor Salernitana 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 4 wins, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 8 games.
Cittadella's previous game was a Serie B match also played at home, ending 4-3 versus Salernitana (placed 14th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Prior to that, an away loss at Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia.
A goal frenzy last time out for Cittadella, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Salernitana. Fun stuff to watch!
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Cittadella matches with similar probabilities have ended with 5 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat (from ten games).
The Cittadella fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 8 matches. On the other hand, Cittadella have conceded 11 goals.
Salernitana form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie B travels is 3 wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats. Bitter travels for Salernitana as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Livorno match.
Two away games in a row for Salernitana, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 3-4 versus Cittadella in the Serie B. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Ascoli.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Salernitana, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Salernitana playing away, we found seven games. Results were 1 away win, 1 draw and 5 home wins.
Salernitana have scored 9 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. Salernitana have conceded 12 goals in these games.
