Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Venezia boss Paolo Vanoli to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength squad. Denis Cheryshev (Biceps femoris muscle injury) will miss out.

Cittadella boss Edoardo Gorini has a number of players out of action. Enrico Baldini (Cruciate Ligament Injury), Andrea Danzi (Strain) and Andrea Magrassi (Unknown Injury) won’t be making appearances. The suspended players who are serving a ban for this game are Simone Branca, Alessandro Salvi and Valerio Mastrantonio.

We’re envisaging that Cittadella will need to apply a lot of pressure to get anything against this Venezia outfit who will likely get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

We’re therefore expecting a highly competitive game with a 1-0 advantage for Venezia at the conclusion of the game.

It should be a good one.
