Prediction: 0-1
Cittadella
SPAL and Cittadella face each other at Stadio Paolo Mazza in what is expected to be a close Serie B encounter. The Gli Spalini do not seem to be at the top of their game, with the team losing five of their last six league fixtures, and given their shaky defence, home win should not be considered. Goalkeeper Enrico Alfonso remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
La Citta, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, with the team beating both Reggina and Ternana, while sharing the spoils with Brescia. Since Cittadella have been producing much better showings than SPAL in recent weeks, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match. A man to watch in the away team will be Giovanni Crociata, who scored a brace in a 2-1 win over Ternana, while Enrico Baldini misses the match through injury.

The Biancazzurri returned to the Italian elite division following a 49-year absence and it has to be noted that they finished the 2016/2017 Serie A campaign in 14th place in the table. As a result, they were relegated to the Italian second tier at the end of the season.
