Pisa form and stats

Pisa have less points than they have played home games in the Serie B so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 2 points. Pisa have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

Pisa enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Reggina's place. The match ended 2-1 with Gaetano Masucci and Giusepe Sibilli scoring. 4-4 away at Vicenza before that.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of L. D'Angelo when Giusepe Sibilli scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 66th minute. A late climax in the match against Reggina as the winning goal came two minutes into overtime; scored by Giusepe Sibilli.

At Arena Garibaldi - Stadio Romeo Anconetani, Pisa has the goal stats of 2-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Cittadella form and stats

Things could have gone better for Cittadella in their Serie B away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.

Cittadella's last game was the home draw against Empoli (2-2). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Pescara wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

As mentioned above, Cittadella drew the match against Empoli. Manager R. Venturato brought on Mario Gargiulo to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

Cittadella have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 4 goals have been scored. 4 goals have been conceded by Cittadella in these games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last eight meetings between these two teams are: one win for Pisa, one draw and six wins for Cittadella. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
