There are those who are superstitious, those who are always better off not believing too much until they are there. And there are the enthusiasts, those who at this point find it impossible not to succeed. Como is in the middle of all these sensations, aware of its strength but also of the effort and attention that still needs to be put in to reach the finish line. Therefore, beware of considering anything simple, any opponent. This Cittadella is a somewhat enigmatic team, Como had clearly beaten them in the first leg, when the championship plots still had to be drawn out for everyone, and after that defeat the Venetian team had some very brilliant moments, until reach five consecutive victories and fourth place towards the end of the first round. But he then lacked continuity, which was and is Como’s strength.
A victory is expected from this match, obviously. The forces on the field say this, but in front of us there is still a team that still has the possibility of aiming for the playoffs – of which they have also been finalists twice in recent times, in 2019 and 2021, playing them for five consecutive seasons since 2017 onwards – and who have not lost in seven games, four of which were away.
