Cittadella Performance in Italy Serie B

The Cittadella team's performance in the 2019/2020 Italian Serie B season has been extraordinary. This deserves that we review its history and analyze what its projection could be this season.

A little of the Cittadella team’s history.

The Cittadella team was established in 1973. It was from the merger of the A.S. Olympiad and U.S. Cittadellense. They played for the loss of their baby years in amateur football. Later, they moved to professional football leagues at Série C1 and Série C2.

They earned their first promotion in 1999 with a win over Brescello in the final playoffs. The promotion got them to the Italian Serie B. Cittadella played for two years in the Serie B before they got relegated after the 2001/02 season.

This team came back to Serie B in 2008 when they won Cremonese in the playoffs. The head coach then was Claudio Foscarini. They escaped the 2008/2009 relegation by a hair’s breathe. Ever since then, they have been playing outstandingly.

Likewise, they have registered four draws and have been defeated four times. This has served them to achieve 1.57 points per game this season.

After an uncertain start to the season with 3 losses in 4 games, this squad has left undefeated in 9 of its last 10 games with a 5-4-1 record. During that period his defense has been his fundamental pillar and the factor that has led him to rise in the standings.
