After a long international break, Cittadella seek three points in first away match

Nearly two weeks after Enrico Baldini’s brace helped push Cittadella above Crotone at the Tombolato, the Granata return to the pitch in a tricky matchup against Cremonese.

The first road game of the season provides a great test for both sides. Cremonese, who is coming off a 1-0 loss to Monza, come into this match having already scored three goals this season. They impressed on opening night as they beat Lecce at home with a convincing 3-0 win.

Cittadella are looking to remain undefeated with Edoardo Gorini as head coach. With attacking powers in the likes of Baldini, Tounkara, Antonucci, and Okwonkwo, the Granata are flying in the final third with goals. Despite going on the road for the first time this season, the plan remains the same for Citta.

“The team’s attitude will be the same as in the last few matches even if we will play away against a strong opponent who has just returned from a year of work. And that can aspire to the top positions of the standings.” Gorini answered to PadovaOggi.

If the club wants to achieve promotion, the best way to start is to get points from these types of matches. The less losses, the more points gained, and a single point might be the difference between playoffs, promotion, or relegation.

Both teams would love to grab three points in this match, but Cremonese will be more likely favored to win in front of their home fans. The last two visits in Cremona ended as a Granata victory, with two back to back 2-0 wins.

This will be an interesting test and a good opportunity for either team to steal points. I am thinking of a 2-2 draw, with Antonucci bagging his long awaited goal, and Baldini continuing his fine form.
