League leaders Ascoli welcome Cittadella to the Stadio Cino e Lillo Del Duca on Saturday afternoon as two ambitious teams battle it out on Matchday 4 in Serie B.
Cittadella will be trying to claim a victory after two back-to-back games where they conceded in the final 10 minutes. After a draw in a rainy match against Venetian rivals Venezia, the Granata are aiming for their second league win of the season.
Ascoli has been soaring out of the gates under new head coach Cristian Bucchi. I Picchi have started their season with two wins and a draw, and currently sit at the summit of Serie B. New signing Cedric Gondo scored a hat trick last weekend to get all three points in Palermo, and now sits alone in the golden boot standings.
Cittadella and Ascoli both have similar yet big dreams: getting to the top flight of Italian football. Ascoli had a terrific campaign last year, finishing in 6th before a first round playoff loss to Benevento. Looking on the outside was Cittadella, who missed last years playoffs for the first time in over 6 years, but are determined to get back where they belong in the upcoming season.
Both sides have scored plenty of goals this season in just three games. Upgrading attack has been key in this summers transfer market, and that’s exactly what both these teams have done.
For Cittadella, Ascoli have given them some headaches in the past. Between the two sides, the matchup is very even, with Cittadella just edging Ascoli in head-to-head wins with 10 against 8. Both sides have also split the number of goals scored in this fixture at 26 scored.
Cittadella will be trying to secure their first road victory in the league since April, while Ascoli want to continue their unbeaten run to start the season, while also trying to secure their top spot in the league.
