AS Bari

DDDDDW 🤝

AS Bari, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 0-2 Serie B triumph vs Salernitana.

In that game, AS Bari managed 35% possession and 5 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. For AS Bari, the goalscorers were Kevin Lasagna (29') and Andrija Novakovich (36'). At the other end, Salernitana got 24 attempts on goal with 5 on target.

Their latest results really do illustrate the point that it has been a great time for the AS Bari rearguard. AS Bari have given the opposition little, seeing the number of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their last six outings standing at 4.

Taking a look at their past results, AS Bari:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Cittadella in their previous 6 matches.
• have not emerged victorious against Cittadella in their previous 3 league matches.
• are without a home win in the past 4 league matches. Fans are getting restless.

Cittadella

LDLDWL

After being beaten in their last game against Cesena in Serie B competition, Cittadella will be aiming to make amends here.

In that game, Cittadella had 46% possession and 8 shots at goal with 2 on target. Cesena had 18 shots on goal with 10 of them on target. Simone Bastoni (60') and Cristian Shpendi (67') scored for Cesena.

The forward players for Cittadella have had real problems scoring goals in their past 6 games, netting the unsatisfactory return of only 2. In those matches, Granata have also seen the overall goal aggregate against them equal 11. While that may be of interest, we’ll just have to find out if that trend might persist in this next match.

Their previous form shows that Cittadella:

• have not beaten AS Bari when having played them away from home in the previous 3 league matches.
• haven't been defeated by AS Bari in away games against them for the last 2 matches in the league.

We’re of the thinking that Granata seem likely to utilise a 4-3-1-2 lineup, choosing Elhan Kastrati, Lorenzo Carissoni, Andrea Cecchetto, Matteo Angeli, Edoardo Masciangelo, Francesco D'Alessio, Francesco Amatucci, Simone Branca, Simone Tronchin, Luca Pandolfi and Simone Rabbi.

🧠 Prediction

We’re envisaging that Cittadella will do well to find the net against this AS Bari outfit who we reckon should get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

We’re therefore expecting a good battle with a 1-0 advantage for AS Bari when the full-time whistle blows.

Looking forward to this.
