Cittadella form and stats
Cittadella have collected 7 points from their Serie B home games so far after 2-1-1.
Cittadella's last game was hosting Lecco (placed 20th) and winning 2-1. Manager Gorini felt very clever after Cassano scored the winning goal against Lecco, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 46th minute.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Catanzaro that finished 1-1.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 7 times, drawn 4 and lost 2.
Cittadella have scored {3 league goals} here from 4 matches, not a lot.
Ternana form and stats
No Serie B points yet away for Ternana, from their first 3 matches. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Lucarelli, the Ternana manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Ternana go into this game after a win, the home game against Reggiana that ended 3-0. Yippee; their first victory in the league after seven rounds not winning. Defender Diakite was the best team player with a rating of 8.73. Diakite scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass and won 2 of 4 duels.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Ascoli wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.Ternana are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats. From a total of 14 matches.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Ternana as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league.
Head 2 Head
