With their 5 point advantage in the league table, Cesena fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Imolese.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Cesena and Imolese.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Imolese have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 1-0-1 (win-draw-loss) from two matches.

Cesena form and stats

Cesena have collected 4 points from their Serie C: Girone B home games so far after 1-1-1.

In their previous game, the manager F. Modesto led his Cesena to a defeat in the Serie C: Girone B match away at Padova. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Orogel Stadium-Dino Manuzzi. Before that, Cesena drew at home versus Piacenza.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Cesena have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won 3 times, drawn 1 and lost 3.

Cesena have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Orogel Stadium-Dino Manuzzi with 5 goals in 3 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 5 goals have been conceded.

Imolese form and stats

The Serie C: Girone B season is young and Imolese have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far. Three has not been a lucky number for Imolese as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Reggiana match.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie C: Girone B home defeat versus Virtus Verona with 1-3 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Imolese manager F. Coppitelli faced defeat when travelling to Ravenna and losing 0-1.

Imolese are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats. From a total of five matches.

Imolese have scored 3 goals on their travels this season, from 3 away games in the league. Imolese have conceded 5 goals in these games.
