The best Pisa vs Cittadella predictions and picks
Contents
Pisa to win
Pisa may be four points below Cittadella going into this one before they have enough quality on the pitch to come out with the win on Saturday. Pisa finished above Cittadella last season and would be on more points this season if it wasn’t for disciplinary reasons. They have suffered from four red cards in their opening eight matches which has made life very difficult for them. When they’ve kept eleven men on the pitch they are unbeaten which bodes well ahead of this one.
BTTS
Both of these teams have been amongst the goals this season and it’s a rare occurrence if they blank. In nine Serie B matches, Cittadella have scored score in six games and they are on their best goalscoring run of the season at present with five in their last three. Pisa have been even more prolific and have scored in six of their eight matches. Expect action at both ends.
Over 0.5 first half goals
Cagey first halves are usually a hallmark of Italian football but no one must have told Cittadella as they have been involved in plenty of exciting first halves this season. In their nine league matches this season, at least one goal has been scored in eight of them so the odds are definitely in favour of over 0.5 first half goals here.
Pisa vs Cittadella: Preview and team news
Pisa
Pisa haven’t graced Serie A for more than 30 years and ever since they have yo-yoed between Serie B and C in Italy. After finishing midtable last season, they will have had eyes on promotion this year but inconsistency and discipline have got in their way. For this match, they welcome back Tommaso Barbieri who served his one-match suspension last time out.
Cittadella
Cittadella have come painfully close to promotion to Serie A on a couple of occasions since reaching Serie B in 2016 but last season were embroiled in a relegation scrap. They have started better this time around and look as if they will be in and around the playoff spots once again this season. If they are to be successful on Saturday, they will need a big performance from goalkeeper, Elhan Kastrati.
