It's early days in the Serie C: Girone B and both Cesena and FeralpiSalò are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Cesena form and stats
Cesena's first Serie C: Girone B home game here at Orogel Stadium-Dino Manuzzi ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 3 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats from 13 matches.
Ahead of that match, Cesena lost 0-2 at home to Triestina.
This is expected to be a close game, with Cesena perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Cesena as a small favourite), we find seven games. Cesena has won two of these, drawn three and lost two.
At Orogel Stadium-Dino Manuzzi, Cesena has the goal stats of 0-2 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
FeralpiSalò form and stats
FeralpiSalò have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Serie C: Girone B were 6 victories, 2 draws and 5 defeats from 13 fixtures.
A 1-3 defeat away at Matelica Calcio before that.
A. Petrucci came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Imolese last time out, making the manager M. Pavanel feel like a tactical genius.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with FeralpiSalò playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were six FeralpiSalò wins, zero draws and three defeats.
FeralpiSalò have the goal stats of 1-3 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
