Date: October 1, 2023 – 16:15 local
Venue: Stadio Piercesare Tombolato – Cittadella
For the first time since 2008, Cittadella face Lecco on the 8th Matchday of the Serie B season.
The Granata are coming off a 1-1 draw in Calabria against Catanzaro, with Lorenzo Carissoni bagging his first goal in his Serie B career. Lecco are winless this season following their chaotic summer where they were threaten to be excluded from the league after registration complications. I Blucelesti have lost three times out of their first four games, with their only point coming against Modena last weekend.
This fixture was popular in the 1990s, where the two clubs faced each other 14 times during the 90s decade. This includes a tense Lega Pro promotion play-off in 1997, with Lecco coming out on top by an aggregate score of 3-2. In total, Lecco holds a 6-7-3 all-time record against Cittadella.
Edoardo Gorini and Cittadella can put themselves back into play-off territory with a win against the Lombardy club. Lecco is looking to pull itself out of 20th in the league. A win at the Stadio Piercesare Tombolato would be its first win in Serie B in over 50 years.
