Draw
The two teams were evenly matched in the first leg. Venezia were able to get the narrowest of advantages to carry over to the second leg, which will be in front of their own fans. This can induce some nervousness to the home team, who do know that even a draw will get them through to the Italian Serie A. Venezia have been quite strong in home matches throughout the campaign while Cittadella are quite poor on the road. Yet, the desire to get back into the tie could result in the two teams producing a stalemate.
Total goals under 2.5
The two teams had very little to separate in the first leg. It has been the story of recent meetings between these two clubs. The winning margin has never been by more than one goal in the last six head-to-head matchups. This time around, the match has a lot at stake and both teams could produce a low scoring match.
Both teams to score – yes
Cittadella need to find a way back into the tie and this is only possible by scoring. Even though the team do not have a great away record, Cittadella should be able to capitalise on any nervousness within the Venezia ranks.
