Cittadella, Recent FormCittadella were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 1-1 draw against Venezia. They came away from that fixture with 45% of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Venezia managed 13 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
Having conceded 7 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 5 points. Finding the net at home is becoming a problem for them, having been unable to score in 5 of their last 6 matches. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
A home win for Cittadella is just a distant memory, having not won at Stadio Piercesare Tombolato in 7 games.
Ascoli, Recent FormIt was just a point apiece for Ascoli and SPAL in their last match, which ended in a 1-1 draw. They achieved 36% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against SPAL's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 6 and seen valuable points lost. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Ascoli, Michele Collocolo will be looking to add more goals against Cittadella in this match.
Nothing to write home about from their previous encounter, with no goals and both teams having to settle for a share of the points.
In each of their last 5 away matches in the league at Stadio Piercesare Tombolato, I Bianconeri have let in at least 1 goal. In their past 5 meetings, Granata's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Ascoli will have to take their chances when they come. Ascoli have failed score a goal in 4 of their last 5 league meetings with Cittadella.
Ascoli has a poor track record in the league when they visit Cittadella, losing in their last 2 games.
With no real injury worries, Cittadella manager Edoardo Gorini will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Ascoli manager Cristian Bucchi has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
