Cisterna - Padova predictions and free betting tips [10/04/2024]

On Wednesday the Italian Super League playoff match for the fifth place between Cisterna and Padova will take place.

Cisterna

The hosts currently hold the ninth position in the league table. In their last five outings, they conceded to Modena 2:3, Piacenza 1:3, Monza 0:3, Verona 0:3, and Lube Civitanova 2:3. The team's form is far from terrible, yet leaves much to be desired. So far this season, the team has clinched seven victories and suffered fifteen losses.

Padova

The team concludes the league in the tenth ranking position yet has astonished even elite rivals. In recent rounds, they thrashed Lube 3:0 and Trentino 3:1, which is quite impressive. However, they came up short against "Verona 1:3, Monza 1:3, and "Perugia" 0:3. Out of 22 games this season, the club chalked up eight victories amidst fourteen defeats.

Head-to-head

Since 2022, the teams have locked horns five times. "Padova" has emerged as a victor on four occasions (3:2, 3:0, 3:0, 3:2), while "Cisterna" triumphed only once (3:1).

Match prediction for the match

Cisterna is quite a big favourite in this match although, I believe, undeservedly so. The game looks roughly 45/55 in favour of Padova, given the visitors in recent face-offs proved they can stand toe-to-toe with the division's best. I would risk here and opt for a 2nd team victory at odds of 2.54, given the chances are roughly even.
