Trapani hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 19 points and a 19th position in the Serie B table. Visiting Cittadella holds 8th place with 30 pts.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Cittadella have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Cittadella form and stats
The visitors are W4-D3-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Serie B.

Cittadella goalkeeper Alberto Paleari had a great day against Benevento, but despite making 6 saves the loss could not be avoided.

Cittadella find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 10 goals from 10 away fixtures in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (9 so far).
