View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

BTTS landed in 75% of Cittadella’s matches and 67% of AlbinoLeffe’s, pointing towards goals from both teams. The visitors average 2.33 goals, while the hosts have yet to keep a clean sheet over the season, making an AlbinoLeffe goal likely. Cittadella do score only 0.75 goals per match, but their average xG is 1.51, while their opponents concede chances worth 1.81 xG. Across their last five matches, the hosts averaged 2.0 goals scored, while AlbinoLeffe conceded 1.4, strengthening the case for a Cittadella goal. The risk to the BTTS - Yes pick is the hosts’ improved defensive form: they conceded just 0.4 goals per match over this period. However, the overall data marginally favor goals from both sides.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

The strongest pick is Under 3.5 goals: all of Cittadella’s matches so far have finished below this line, as have 67% of AlbinoLeffe’s games. In their last 5 matches, Cittadella averaged 2.0 goals scored and conceded just 0.4, while AlbinoLeffe averaged 1.4 goals both scored and conceded. The hosts have recently created chances worth an average xG of 1.98, but the visitors have allowed opponents an xG of 1.78, making a Cittadella goal likely. On the other hand, the hosts’ solid recent defensive form and the league average of 2.21 goals limit the case for a match with at least 4 goals. A projected total of 2.60 goals gives Under 3.5 a clearer edge than the more evenly balanced 2.5 line.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

A draw at half-time is the most likely outcome: Cittadella were level at the break in 50% of their home matches to date, while AlbinoLeffe were level at half-time in 67% of their away games. Across their last five matches, both teams recorded a half-time draw in 40% of games, further pointing to a closely contested start. Cittadella’s current form determines the final selection: they have won their last five matches, averaging 1.4 goals after the break and conceding none; AlbinoLeffe have won just one of their last five and have conceded an average of 1.2 goals in second halves. However, the X/1 pick should be treated with caution, as AlbinoLeffe’s previous away results were strong: they averaged 2.33 goals scored and won 67% of their away matches, while Cittadella have yet to win at home.
