Cittadella

LLDDLL ⚠

Cittadella will be hoping for a better result after a 2-1 Serie B loss in their previous game against Reggiana.

In that match, Cittadella had 62% possession and 14 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. The only player to score for Cittadella was Luca Pandolfi (96'). On the other side, Reggiana had 10 shots on goal with 3 on target. Cedric Gondo (61') and Manolo Portanova (90') scored for Reggiana.

It has been a rare occasion in recent games that Cittadella have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Cittadella have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 12 goals during that time. That sort of trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this match, of course.

Coming into this meeting, Cittadella are without a home win in the past 6 league matches. Their fans aren't happy.

Brescia

DLWLDL

Following on from a losing effort in their last game against Pisa in Serie B competition, Brescia and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that match, Brescia had 63% possession and 7 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Brescia was Ante Matej Jurič (94'). On the other side, Pisa had 6 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Matteo Tramoni (12') and Idrissa Touré (79') scored for Pisa.

Looking at their form, and Brescia have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 8 goals in total. Defensively, Brescia have been far from perfect.

Leading up to this clash, Brescia:

• have not won against Cittadella when they have played them away from home in the previous 6 matches in the league. Not good.
• have not been beaten in their last 2 league matches away from home.

📰 Team News: Cittadella

It’s our opinion that Granata look set to go for a 3-4-3 system for this one featuring Elhan Kastrati, Alessandro Salvi, Nicola Pavan, Elio Capradossi, Francesco D'Alessio, Francesco Amatucci, Federico Casolari, Simone Tronchin, Lorenzo Carissoni, Simone Rabbi and Jacopo Desogus.

ℹ️ Team News: Brescia

From our viewpoint, Rondinelle seem likely to elect for a 3-5-2 formation with a starting lineup of Luca Lezzerini, Andrea Papetti, Dimitri Bisoli, Gabriele Calvani, Lorenzo Dickmann, Birkir Bjarnason, Nicolas Galazzi, Patrick Nuamah, Niccolò Corrado, Davide Adorni and Gennaro Borrelli.

✨ Prediction

We are of the inclination to think that Brescia and Cittadella may well find themselves both scoring in what promises to be a very even battle here.

Little in this one, and it’s almost too close to call. That’s why our selection here is for a very close game with a score draw at the end of this game.
