Venezia FC vs Cittadella - 27/05/2021

4870

On Thursday night, Venezia and Cittadella face off in the Serie B promotion play-off second leg. A place in the Italian top-flight for next season is at stake.

The first leg finished 1-0 in favour of the home side and they are favourites to book their place in Serie A for next season.

Venezia FC are now eight games unbeaten in all competitions, although four of those matches have finished in draws. Their recent matches have been tight, low-scoring affairs with five of their last six games producing over 2.5 goals.

The home side has been strong on home soil of late, as they are five games unbeaten at the Stadio Pierluigi Penzo, including three wins in normal time and victory in extra time.

Their recent home matches have been relatively high-scoring, with at least two goals scored in eight of their previous 11 matches on home soil.

Cittadella’s recent form has not been great, as the first-leg defeat means that the visitors have now lost back-to-back games. They have also won just two of their last six games in all competitions, which does not exactly bode well for an away win.

Like the home team, Cittadella’s recent matches have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last seven games. The fact that they have failed to score in three of those matches is one of the factors for the relative lack of goals in recent Cittadella.

The visitors head to Venezia with a poor recent away record, having won just one of their last eight matches on their travels. Their recent matches on the road have also been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in eight of their last nine away games.

Forebet predicts that this clash will produce a low-scoring draw, which would see Venezia promoted to Serie A for next season.
