Cittadella vs Verona
Cittadella home favourites in first leg
Amazingly, Cittadella are two games away from the top flight of Italian football for the first time in their history. The minnows were never expected to get as far as a playoff spot this season and finished seventh in Serie B. But a remarkable run to the playoff final has seen the club thrust under the spotlight.

Wins over Spezia and Benevento mean Cittadella could complete a remarkable promotion this weekend. They are the 2.20 pre-match favourites to beat Verona in the first leg of this clash, which takes place in Cittadella.
Now, Cittadella beat Verona 3-0 at home at the start of May. That was a convincing result that proved just how strong Cittadella are at home. Gabriel Moncini — Cittadella’s top scorer with 15 goals this season — netted in the rout. Fans betting on the game and wanting to live stream football could do worse than backing Moncini to score again. He is 4.80 to score first.
Verona can keep tie alive
Yes, Verona may have lost 3-0 at Cittadella the last time these sides met. But back in December, Verona beat their playoff rivals 4-0 at home themselves! Clearly home advantage across these two playoff games will be massive — and that’s why fans may decide to back Verona for promotion based on the two legs.

Verona can afford to lose the first leg, knowing they can turn it around back at their place. I Gialloblu like to keep things tight and manager Alfredo Setti could well try to shut the game out in this first leg. Verona made it to the playoff final thanks to a 1-0 aggregate victory over Pescara. They also scored just 49 goals in the league all season — a tally matched by Cittadella.
This first leg could be cagey and a price of 3.05 on a draw is well positioned in the football betting markets over on Unibet’s sportsbook.
