Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Stadio Pier Cesare Tombolato will be the centre of attention when Cittadella and Sampdoria go head to head in the Serie B round 11. La Citta are on a six-game winless run in the Italian second tier and given their struggles at the back, home win should not be considered. It has to be noted that Cittadella have conceded 11 goals in total in the last four league matches. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
La Samp, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, beating both Cesena (5-3) and Mantova (1-0) in the last two league games. Given La Citta’s shaky defence, we predict that the promotion-chasing visitors will give fans yet another reason to celebrate on Wednesday evening. Andrea Sottil is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Mantova at the weekend.
