Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Palermo, Brescia will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Cittadella in the Serie B round 2. Le Rondinelle made a promising start to the season, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to return to the Serie B at the end of the season. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Saturday’s clash.
La Citta, meanwhile, failed to recover from the Coppa Italia defeat to Sassuolo, with the team losing to Salernitana in their Serie B opener. As Edoardo Gorini’s men are not regarded as good travellers, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in the round 2 clash. In their last encounter at the venue Brescia defeated Cittadella 2-0, further supporting our earlier prediction. There are no injury worries in the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Brescia):
Hosting their rivals at Stadio Mario Rigamonti, the stadium with the capacity of 16,743, Brescia are Italian team founded back in 1911 under the name of Brescia Football Club. Le Rondinelle are well known for their blue and white shirts, but white is dominant colour in their away kit.
Atalanta are considered one of the club’s fiercest rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the Derby of Lombardy. The Stadio Mario Rigamonti outfit have rivalries with the likes of Inter, Hellas Verona and Cremonese as well. Roberto Baggio, who has 56 caps with the Italy national football team, is considered the most famous footballer who played for Brescia.
Robi scored 45 goals in 95 appearances in the Serie A for le Rondinelle. It has to be noted that the likes of Andrea Pirlo, Gheorge Hagi, Pep Guardiola, Luca Toni, Luigi Di Biagio and Dario Hubner were part of Brescia in the past as well. However, Mario Rigamonti is the club’s biggest legend as he died in the Superga air disaster back in 1949.
