📋 Team News: Cosenza
It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just one fitness concern for the Cosenza manager Fabio Caserta to contend with from a near full-strength squad. Pietro Martino (Achilles tendon rupture) won’t play. The players who will not be able to play in this game through being suspended are Michael Venturi, Tommaso D'Orazio and Simone Mazzocchi.
It looks as if Bruzi may well make use of the 3-4-2-1 system for this one and select Andrea Seculin, Fabio Ponsi, Giovanni Zaro, Cristian Cauz, Shady Oukhadda, Fabio Gerli, Thomas Battistella, Niccolò Corrado, Fabio Abiuso, Antonio Palumbo and Jacopo Manconi.
ℹ️ Team News: Cittadella
Thanks to a fully healthy group available to choose from, the Cittadella boss Edoardo Gorini does not have any fitness concerns at all ahead of this clash.
We’re of the thinking that Granata could decide to elect for a 3-1-4-2 formation, settling for Semuel Pizzignacco, Federico Bergonzi, Alessandro Pilati, Davide Balestrero, A. Luca Fiordilino, Mattia Felici, Christos Kourfalidis, Davide Di Molfetta, Mattia Tonetto, Giacomo Manzari and Andrea La Mantia.
💡 Prediction
Our feeling is that Cittadella might have a difficult job to breach the defence of this Cosenza side who we reckon will be able to grind out a win.
We’re going for a very competitive game with a 1-0 winning margin for Cosenza when all is said and done.
Expecting it to be tight.
