Struggling Livorno will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Cittadella in the upcoming league round. It's 20th vs 6th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Livorno form and stats
With 3 Serie B wins, 2 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Livorno, who have the most conceded goals (28) at home in Serie B, are certainly not brimming with confidence. With seven home Serie B games in a row without a win, the Livorno fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Juve Stabia game long ago, can be stopped today.
No payout for Livorno in their previous match, an away game at Pisa that ended in defeat 0-1. In the match before that, Livorno hosted Frosinone and drew the game 2-2.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Livorno have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won four, drawn two and lost seven.
The Livorno fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 13 matches. Livorno are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (28 from 13 played).
Cittadella form and stats
Playing away, Cittadella have won 7 games, drawn 3 and suffered 3 defeats in the Serie B this season. It’s been three wins in a row for Cittadella on their travels, an amazing performance which inspire hopes of making this one the fourth consecutive victory.
The manager R. Venturato was unhappy after their last game, a Serie B match played at their home ground Stadio Pier Cesare Tombolato. Cittadella suffered a 0-2 loss to Pordenone (placed 4th). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Cosenza at their stadium, the result 2-1.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 15 similar matches played by Cittadella in our archives, and the results are: five wins for Cittadella, six draws and four defeats.
Cittadella are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 17 away goals from 13 games (in the league). It's not easy to score on Cittadella as they have only conceded 11 goals from these away games.
