Match preview: Cittadella vs Salernitana
Cittadella and Salernitana face off at Stadio Pier Cesare Tombolato in this 34th round of Serie B. Salernitana emerges as the victor in their last meeting, winning 2-1 at home on 17 August 2024. The home advantage could play a significant role, considering both teams exhibit notable discrepancies in their home and away performances.
Team analysis: Cittadella
Currently seated in 17th place, Cittadella has garnered 35 points from 9 wins, 9 draws, and 15 losses. Their last match resulted in a goalless draw against Carrarese at home, followed by a narrow defeat to Sampdoria (1-0) away. Interestingly, Cittadella has performed better on the road, securing 6 wins, 2 draws, and 7 losses as visitors over their last 30 matches, scoring 12 goals and conceding 23. In stark contrast, their home record shows just 2 wins, 6 draws, and 7 losses, with 11 goals scored and 21 conceded. With a mere 9 points from the last 10 home games, Cittadella’s tendency to finish the first 45 minutes at 0-0 is prominent, which occurred in 8 of their 16 home fixtures. Furthermore, they have conceded goals in 7 of their last 10 league matches, indicating a lack of defensive strength. Across 33 league outings, they have conceded the first goal 16 times, managing only one comeback to claim victory after falling behind.
Cittadella enters this Serie B round hoping to clinch all 3 points at home to distance themselves from the relegation zone, aiming to end their current streak of 6 matches without a win at home, of which 5 were losses. With a total of 9 wins, 8 draws, and 16 losses over 33 rounds, they find themselves ranked 17th in terms of goal difference (only 25 goals scored and 49 conceded), the worst in the league, yet they share the same 35 points with teams in 14th, 15th, and 16th place, holding a 2-point advantage over their nearest rival for relegation, Salernitana (18th).
Team analysis: Salernitana
Occupying the 18th position with 33 points from 8 wins, 9 draws, and 16 losses, Salernitana recently secured a 2-1 victory at home against Südtirol following a 1-0 loss away to Juve Stabia. The team is noticeably affected by the home advantage, faring better in front of their supporters, with only 1 victory, 5 draws, and 9 losses as visitors in their last 30 matches, where they netted 7 goals but conceded a staggering 21. At home, they have managed 5 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses, scoring 17 times while conceding 18. Over the last 10 matches as visitors in the league, Salernitana has garnered just 4 points from 30 possible, having drawn 4 times and lost 6.
Notably, they have failed to win any of their last 12 matches away from home, with the first half often concluded at 0-0, a scoreline that has occurred in 11 of their 17 games. Their away fixtures exhibit a tendency for fewer goals, as evidenced by 12 of the last 16 games featuring fewer than 3 goals. In 33 league matches, they managed to secure a comeback in only 1 of the 19 games where they conceded the first goal. Over their last 16 away matches in this competition, 3 of their 8 goals were scored between the 61st and 75th minutes.
Salernitana enters this Serie B match eager to build on their recent home win, breaking a sequence of two losses and three winless outings. With their tally standing at 8 wins, 9 draws, and 16 losses in 33 matches, they remain in the relegation zone, holding 18th with 2 points less than Cittadella, who are currently in 17th place and fighting to escape the play-off zone. However, they are also just 2 points away from 15th and 14th place, which currently lie just outside the relegation zone.
