20th- against 13th position might not seem all that steamy. But: Tipsway has the knowledge that makes Perugia - Cittadella (even) more engrossing!
- Perugia have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Cittadella have yet to win a game away.
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.
