Cittadella welcome the visitors Palermo in the Italian Serie B – Round 19. The match will be held on Sunday, December 30th, at the Stadio Pier Cesare Tombolato (Cittadella).
Before the last round, Cittadella have missed only three goals away from home, however, in their clash with Verona, they’ve allowed four times. This is all we need to know about the head-to-head against one of the leaders. The coming encounter with Palermo will be yet more difficult, as the opponent rack up points in each match throughout the latest twelve rounds, while the hosts are winless in four consecutive fixtures. Also, Cittadella have dropped out of the Italian Cup. Considering all the above, we don’t think they will rush forward, trying to play defense first even on their turf – as the stats suggests, the opponent are stronger in attack and in defense.

Defeat to Brescia Calcio in the fifth round is still the only Palermo’s loss in the present campaign. The leader follow their victorious schedule, running yet three points ahead of their closest pursuer. Palermo’s performance is consistent both at home and in outings – the team count approximately same number of points attained in domestic and away matches. We could bet on the guests’ win, but the ‘Eagles’ usually tend to share points with their opponents. Note that they’ve been highly effective on their travels, registering four wins in the latest five rounds.
The bookies’ odds on a draw in the coming encounter is under three. Given that Serie B fixtures often end level, this looks logical. Roberto Stellone’s side, despite their leading status, cannot feel confident so far, and they will try to take points from the opponent who are failing to win. The guests outclass their hosts though, and their current form is better. The Sunday match will either see a win by Palermo, or a draw. We may also try betting on the guests’ win with 0.0 handicap. The odds on Palermo’s win are little over than those on the hosts’ one.
Prediction for the match: Palermo to win or Draw.
