Cittadella vs PergolettesePrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The season opens here: the Tombolato stages the first round of Girone A, with Cittadella and Pergolettese starting their campaign at 18:00 local time. Neither club has played a league game yet, so there are no points, no goal difference and no run of results to read: the table is level for everyone and the scoring average of the group has still to take shape. On an evening like this the statistical picture is necessarily thin, and useful reference points will only arrive over the coming weeks, once both sides have a handful of official games behind them. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one. The data and assessments here are provided for information and statistical purposes.
