Cittadella come up against guests Ascoli at Stadio Piercesare Tombolato in their Serie B tie on Saturday. Time to bring you the latest player updates and predicted line ups.
Cittadella are hoping to win again after their last result, a 0-2 Serie B victory vs Reggiana. We are thinking that Granata could kick off with a 3-5-2 system for the game and select Elhan Kastrati, Alessandro Salvi, Matteo Angeli, Nicola Pavan, Lorenzo Carissoni, Simone Branca, Valerio Mastrantonio, Alessio Vita, Andrea Tessiore, Tommy Maistrello and Enrico Baldini.
There aren’t many selection issues, with just one fitness concern for the Cittadella manager Edoardo Gorini to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Filippo Pittarello won’t play. Francesco Amatucci is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
Possible Cittadella team vs Ascoli
In their last game, Ascoli drew 0-0 in the Serie B match with Venezia. We are inclined to think that Bianconeri will likely utilise a 3-5-2 formation with a starting lineup of Devis Vásquez, Valerio Mantovani, Sauli Vaisanen, Danilo Quaranta, Marcello Falzerano, Patrizio Masini, Francesco Di Tacchio, Samuel Giovane, Karim Zedadka, David Duris and Pablo Rodríguez.
Ascoli boss Massimo Carrera has to currently contend with reduced team options. Luka Bogdan (Knee surgery), Riccardo Gagliolo (Calf problems), Erdis Kraja (Cruciate ligament tear) and Pedro Mendes (Hamstring injury) are those who can’t be considered. Giuseppe Bellusci cannot play in this game through suspension.
