Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Cittadella and Frosinone take on each other at Stadio Pier Cesare Tombolato in what is expected to be a close Serie B game. La Citta did well to shock Lecce at Stadio Via del Mare in midweek, with the team moving closer to the playoffs berth. Edoardo Gorini’s men aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, but beating the Canarini is easier said than done. The likes of Orji Okwonkwo, Domenico Frare, Amedeo Benedetti, Andrea Danzi, and Simone Branca should miss out with injuries for the home team.
Frosinone, on the other hand, rolled over Reggina 3-0 to put an end to their three-game winless run. The Canarini aim to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive, and seeing that they will go for a win as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Midfielder Hamza Haoudi is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the trip to Cittadella.

Highlighted Team (Frosinone):
Back in 1912 Frosinone were founded as Unione Sportiva Frusinate and it has to be noted that the colors of the team were originally red and blue. They were later changed to the current yellow and blue and the Canarini have been wearing those kits ever since. Frosinone made their first ever appearance in the Serie A in the 2015/2016 season, but they failed to secure the promotion.
The Canarini finished the season in 19th place in the standings, eight points behind Udinese, who eventually avoided relegation to Serie B. However, two years later Frosinone returned to the Italian top flight as they defeated Palermo 3-2 on aggregate in the play-offs final.
The club play their home games at Stadio Benito Stirpe, the stadium that was opened in 2017. The venue can hold 16,227 spectators and it is owned by the Municipality of Frosinone. The construction cost €20 million.
