Spezia, Recent FormA 1-1 draw and a point gained against Ternana in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent result for Spezia last time out. Their share of possession in that meeting was 60%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Ternana, who had 13 shots on goal with 5 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games, and over the course of the season they have failed to score in 6 of their [%HT_Games_Season_Home% games played at Stadio Alberto Picco.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games. Their home form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 6 draws in 11 home league games.
Cittadella, Recent FormThe 2-1 home defeat to Parma will not have sat easily with the Cittadella squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they had 58% possession and managed 22 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Parma who had 16 attempts and 4 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 9 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. In their last 6 away games, they have scored in 4 and kept a clean sheet in 3.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table.
Luca Pandolfi will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Cittadella.
The last time these two teams met Cittadella enforced their superiority over Spezia with a comfortable 4-1 win.
Spezia will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 6 encounters with Granata.
Cittadella has had a poor run in this fixture when they visit Spezia, being unable to find a win from any of their last 6 league meetings at Stadio Alberto Picco.
With no real injury worries, Spezia manager Luca D'Angelo will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Cittadella manager Edoardo Gorini has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
