The five reasons not to miss Pisa-Cittadella

Pisa, 7 February 2025 - Against Cittadella for a month of passion at the end of which the accounts for the Cadet championship will be settled. Here are five reasons not to miss a match that promises to be sparky. THE RACE FOR SERIE A - Pisa, Sassuolo and Spezia continue their march towards Serie A arm in arm. Cremonese, in fourth place, continues to struggle and the playoffs, once again, risk not being played. The Neroverdi already have an 18-point advantage over fourth, Pisa has 16 while Spezia is already at +11. If they continue at this pace there will be very little that the opponents can do. THE ABSENCES - The Nerazzurri will once again have to do without Marin, on his second day of suspension to serve, as well as Touré, also sidelined for one match by the sports judge. It is also not yet time for Tramoni, out for his fourth match due to injury. We will have to wait until Cesena to see all three, but the squad offers Inzaghi a new opportunity. BLACK BEAST? NO MORE - Pisa has lost six times at home against Cittadella. Five times the defeat was very heavy. In fact, the Nerazzurri lost twice at the Arena with a score of 0-3 and twice with a score of 4-1. Now, however, the trend seems to have reversed, after last season, but not only that. THE POISONED TOOTH - Yes, because in the first leg the 'Desogus case' caused a stir. In fact, Cittadella lost 3-0 by default after fielding a player who was not listed in the notes. This began a long legal battle, resolved in favor of the Nerazzurri, with the judgment of the sports justice that led to the default victory for Inzaghi's team. In Cittadella, however, they didn't mince their words, with the sporting director Marchetti who has enraged the spirits, going so far as to define the president Corrado as "unsportsmanlike", simply because he acted in Pisa's interests by protecting himself at the sports tribunal. AN IMPORTANT MONTH - It will finally be an important month because, after the next three games, there will perhaps be the decisive week of the entire championship. In fact, on March XNUMXst, Pisa will face Sassuolo away, and then play a week later at Spezia's home. However that week goes, it will be the deciding factor for the end of the season. Michele Bufalino
