Parma form and stats

In the previous season, Parma's league statistics were 17 wins, 10 draws and 11 losses, resulting in 5th place in the Serie B. In these 38 matches they scored {48 goals} and conceded 39. Playing as the host team in the last season Parma generated 11-2-6 (win-draw-lost) with {26 goals} and 16 conceded. The hosts won their first Serie B game here at Stadio Ennio Tardini, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Parma last season were 11 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses from 19 games.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Parma, as their goalkeeper Leandro Chichizola has completely shut out the opponents for 181 minutes in the Serie B.

Parma's previous game was also played at home, ending 2-0 versus FeralpiSalò (placed 17th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Midfielder Man was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.8 (out of ten) in that game. Man served one assist, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 3 of 5 times and had 22 successful passes (of 26 total).

Before that, a fine away victory at Bari 1908. A Coppa Italia match. 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 Parma have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 19 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 6 and lost 7.

The manager Pecchia will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Pisa in only three days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Parma at home in the league. 2 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Cittadella form and stats

Let's have a look at how Cittadella performed last season in the Serie B: They landed a 14th position in the league table after playing out 9 victories, 16 draws and 13 defeats. In total they scored 34 and conceded {45 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 8 and lost 7 with 15/23 goals scored/conceded.

Cittadella have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Elhan Kastrati. It's been 201 minutes since they last conceded in Serie B.

Cittadella had fun at their own home (Stadio Ennio Tardini) last time out, beating Reggiana 1-0. Amatucci scored. Midfield player Vita was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.8/10. Vita hit three key passes.

Before that, the Coppa Italia victory away at Empoli. We have checked recent matches where Cittadella have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 16 games were 2 victories, 6 draws and 8 defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Cittadella manager Gorini as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Bari 1908.

Head 2 Head

Parma have not lost in the last 8 games (5-3-0) facing Cittadella.
