A sequence of effective showings by the Cittadella defensive players has seen their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 3 from their previous 6 outings in total. During the same period, their forwards have scored 4. It will be interesting to find out whether or not that trend will be continued on into this next match.

Coming into this fixture, Cittadella are undefeated in their last 3 league matches away from home.

📋 Team News: Südtirol-Alto Adige

Looking at personnel, there is just the lone fitness concern for the Südtirol-Alto Adige manager Federico Valente to be concerned with from a near full-strength group. Kévin Vinetot (Hamstring muscle injury) is out of contention.

It looks as if Biancorossi will possibly go for a 4-4-2 system this time, utilising Giacomo Poluzzi, Andrea Giorgini, Andrea Masiello, Andrea Cagnano, Simone Davi, Salvatore Molina, Tommaso Arrigoni, Jasmin Kurtic, Daniele Casiraghi, Raphael Odogwu and Fabian Tait.

🗞️ Team News: Cittadella

Thanks to a mainly full-strength squad, there’s just the sole fitness issue for the Cittadella gaffer Edoardo Gorini to be concerned about. Filippo Pittarello (unknown injury) won’t be in action.

It’s our belief that Granata might play in a 3-5-2 formation, starting Elhan Kastrati, Alessandro Salvi, Nicola Pavan, Domenico Frare, Andrea Tessiore, Alessio Vita, Valerio Mastrantonio, Giuseppe Carriero, Lorenzo Carissoni, Claudio Cassano and Luca Pandolfi.

🔮 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Cittadella will likely create enough chances to find the back of the net against this Südtirol-Alto Adige team, however that probably shouldn’t be enough to avoid a loss.

We’re going for a very close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Südtirol-Alto Adige when all is said and done. We’ll have to see what happens.
