Cittadella, Recent FormIt's fair to say Cittadella will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Palermo, a match that ended in a 3-3 draw. They came away from that fixture with 45% of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 7 on target. By comparison, Palermo managed 12 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 11 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have been misfiring up front at home recently, having been unable to produce a goal in 3 of their last 6 matches. 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.
There will be mixed feelings from Granata, although undefeated in their last 5 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
Giovanni Crociata will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Cittadella.
Perugia, Recent FormPerugia won't feel too deflated by the 2-1 away defeat to Südtirol, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. Their share of possession in that meeting was 53%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target. Südtirol had 18 shots on goal with 6 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 9 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 5 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
On an individual basis, Tiago Casasola will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Perugia's last 6 league games.
Perugia suffered the disappointment of a 0-2 defeat at the hands of Cittadella the last time they met in the league.
Perugia have struggled to break down the Granata defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 1 time in their last 5 meetings. Cittadella have managed to keep a clean sheet against Perugia in 4 of their previous 5 meetings.
Perugia will be wondering what they have to do to get all 3 points in this fixure, having failed to win any of their last 10 league meetings with Cittadella.
With no real injury worries, Cittadella manager Edoardo Gorini will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Perugia manager Fabrizio Castori has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
