Competition: Italy Serie B
Competition: Sat 17.October
Match begins: 12:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stadio San Vito-Luigi Marulla (24209 seats)

It's early days in the Serie B and both Cosenza and Cittadella are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

These teams have little in common geographically as Cittadella have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
