Cittadella - Hellas Verona

"Witches" is the nickname of Benevento but the magic in the replay was done by Citadella, reaching the biggest success in its history and one step away from Serie A.

The Acropolis as it means in Italian Citadella made the big surprise by overturning the predictions that wanted it excluded after the 1-2 within the first match. It was imposed 0-3 and now it remains to overcome the obstacle of Verona which from the beginning of the championship was considered as one of the favorites for immediate rise.

The road to the top for Verona eventually had to go through forty waves to reach the last match to lock its participation in the playoffs. It took extra time to eliminate Perugia at Bedegotti and then again at home brought a white tie with Pescara which they won in the rematch 0-1. The heavy 3-0 from Citadel in Tobolato in its penultimate match was Alietti's first game on the Verona bench and the last defeat of the Verona team after the 2-1 win over Foggia and the qualifiers in the playoffs. 

On the one hand we have the enthusiasm of Citadella and a city that lives for these two matches and on the other hand the experience of Verona that carries the title of favorite. Citadella, despite the productivity of Benevento, in the home defeat with 1-2 had preceded and despite the opportunities of its opponent, it needed a mistake of its defender to accept the draw at 76 after first being left with 10 players.

With Alietti's opponent Verona whose games do not escape the score and conceded a goal in three of the playoffs, I believe that it is a guide to think about a closed game in which there will be the fear of defeat, especially for the home team. this time it can prove fatal. It is not for many risks here that they arrived and Verona has the advantage of a draw after finishing higher than its opponent. I believe that they will leave open accounts for the next game and I will bet on a draw.
