In the second of their two consecutive league-and-cup meetings, Cremonese play host to Cittadella in the round of 32 of the Coppa Italia on Tuesday.
Edoardo Gorini’s men journey to the Giovanni Zini Stadium on a run of three consecutive defeats against the home side and will be looking to end this dry spell.
Cremonese moved into the top half of the Serie B last Friday courtesy of a 2-1 victory over Cittadella at the Stadio Pier Cesare Tombolato.
Giovanni Stroppa’s men have won four of their first five away games this season, with a 2-2 draw against Reggiana on September 16 being the exception.
Cremonese now turn their attention to the Coppa Italia, where they kicked off the campaign with a 3-1 victory over Crotone on August 14.
Cittadella, on the other hand, came from behind to claim a 2-1 victory away to Empoli in the Coppa Italia opening round on August 12.
Edoardo Gorini’s men head into Tuesday’s game without a win in their last three matches, claiming a 2-2 draw against Ternana on October 7 before losing consecutive games against Pisa and Cremonese respectively.
Cittadella are currently 13th in the Italian Serie B standings with 13 points from 11 matches, three points and three places below Tuesday’s hosts.
