"Venice" will go to visit "Cittadella" in the 38th round of the Italian Serie B. Which of the neighbors in the standings will be stronger?
"Cittadella"
In the last round, Cittadella lost 0-2 to Ascoli, but did not lose anything in the tournament plan, as it remained in the playoff zone and is already guaranteed to start in the elimination rounds from the 1/4 final stage. Cittadella is currently in sixth place with 56 points. Before the last defeat, there was a 5-match winless streak, which consisted of three wins and two draws.
"Venice"
"Venice" also solved the problem-it made it to the playoffs, where it will also start from the quarterfinals. The question remains open as to where Venice will finish the regular season. In principle, it does not matter, but still. There are two options: either on the fifth, if the Cittadella does not lose,or on the sixth, if the defeat does happen. In the previous six rounds, Venice lost once, drew three times and won twice.
Statistics and figures:
- Cittadella lost in one round out of six;
- "Venice" does not lose three matches: a win and two draws;
- "Cittadella" has never lost to "Venice" on its own field: 5 wins and a draw.
Forecast
Teams no longer need anything, so for sure the lineups will be far from optimal. Given the lack of tournament motivation and the desire of reserve players to prove themselves, I will bet that at least 3 goals will be scored in the match.
