Bari have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 1-0 away win against Cremonese in their previous league match.  They achieved 40% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Cremonese's tally of 25 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.  

It seems pretty certain that Michele Mignani will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.  

They have been performing well at Stadio San Nicola recently and are unbeaten in their last 9 home games.

Failing to acquire any points in their 2-0 away defeat by Parma will have left the Cittadella squad feeling a little deflated.  They came away from that fixture with a 62% share of the possession and clocked up 19 attempts on goal with 0 on target, in comparison to Parma, who managed 10 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.  

They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 5 and seen valuable points lost.  They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.  

On an individual basis, Enrico Baldini will be looking to cause Bari some problems having scored 2 goals in Cittadella's last 6 away games in the league.
