It's early days in the Serie B and both Pescara 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.
Pescara and Cittadella should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Pescara form and stats
Three Serie B home games done for Pescara, who are not happy collecting 1 point from these matches. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Pescara with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Chievo game, 43 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The Pescara manager M. Oddo might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
F. Maistro was the last player to score a league goal for Pescara and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Pescara haven't scored in 238 minutes.
In their previous game, the manager M. Oddo led his Pescara to a defeat in the Serie B match away at Lecce. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Adriatico-Giovanni Cornacchia. Prior to that, an away loss at Parma in the Coppa Italia.
Pescara have scored 1 goal here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. On the other hand, Pescara have conceded 4 goals.
Cittadella form and stats
Cittadella are still undefeated on their travels in the Serie B. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie B home defeat versus Monza with 1-2 on the scoreboard. A loss against Spezia was the result prior to that, in a Coppa Italia home game.
It's early days yet, but Cittadella has scored 3 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Pescara won one, Cittadella won seven and two draws. five games with over 2,5 goals, five matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
