The Serie B meeting at Stadio Piercesare Tombolato on Thursday will see hosts Cittadella lock horns with AS Bari.

Cittadella will go into this game on the back of a very inconsistent run of performances which has seen them suffer 2 draws and one loss in their last 5 games. Cittadella sit at 13th position with only 19 points to show for their efforts, 5 points away from 19th placed Como, and they will have a lot to worry about going into this game. On the attack, they have struggled greatly to find the back of the net as they have only managed to score 13 goals all season while conceded more than that in a total of 16. Leading up to this game, Cittadella have not beaten AS Bari in their last 2 league games and are without a home win in the past 4 matches in the league. This will be a major cause for concern for them.

Bari on the other hand will head into this game on a much better position than their hosts and will be feeling very confident. They are currently in 4th place with 23 points to show for their efforts and they have the joint-second best attack in the league with a total of 22 goals scored all season. At the back, Bari have also been very rigid, giving opponents very little to chew on as they have kept their goals conceded to a minimum of 16 goals so far, making them the third-best defense in the league. Bari will head into this game on a 5-game unbeaten record which they will be looking to extend in this match.

Looking at the key numbers have revealed that Bari have the advantage going into this game. They have not been defeated in their previous 2 away league matches and are currently unbeaten in their last 5 league matches overall. They are firing on the attack and are equally solid at the defense. They have shown that they do have what it takes to fight out a game which is evident in their position in the league. We are backing the visitors, Bari, here and we expect them to do enough to avoid a defeat by either securing a victory or by earning a hard-fought draw by the end of this game.

周四在 Stadio Piercesare Tombolato 举行的意乙级联赛中，主队奇塔代拉将与巴里交锋。

奇塔代拉将在一系列非常不稳定的表现的支持下进入这场比赛，他们在过去的 5 场比赛中遭遇 2 平 1 负。 Cittadella 排在第 13 位，他们的努力只得到 19 分，距离第 19 名的 Como 有 5 分之差，他们将有很多担心进入这场比赛。在进攻端，他们很难找到进球，因为他们整个赛季只进了 13 个球，而失球总数超过 16 个。在这场比赛之前，Cittadella 还没有击败 AS Bari近2场联赛，近4场联赛主场未尝胜绩。这将是他们担心的一个主要原因。

另一方面，巴里将以比东道主更好的位置进入这场比赛，并且会感到非常自信。他们目前以 23 个排名第 4他们的努力得到了证明，他们拥有联盟第二好的攻击力，整个赛季总共打进了 22 个进球。在后防线上，巴里也非常僵硬，几乎没有给对手任何可咬的余地，因为他们将失球数保持在至少 16 个，成为联赛第三好的防守。巴里将以 5 场不败的战绩进入这场比赛，他们希望在这场比赛中延续这一战绩。

从关键数据来看，巴里在这场比赛中占据优势。他们在过去的2个客场联赛中没有被击败，并且在最近的5场联赛中保持不败。他们在进攻中开火，在防守上同样稳固。他们已经证明他们确实有能力打赢一场比赛，这在他们在联赛中的地位上是显而易见的。我们在这里支持客队巴里，我们希望他们能够通过确保胜利或赢得胜利来避免失败。本场比赛结束时双方苦战。
