Cesena form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Orogel Stadium-Dino Manuzzi as Cesena have scored 14 goals to get 21 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the Serie C: Girone B are 6-3-1 (wins-draws-losses). Cesena has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Orogel Stadium-Dino Manuzzi. We remember; it was Pistoiese.

Cesena faced defeat in their previous match, away at Gubbio (1-4).

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Siena in a game that was won 1-0.

Lucchese form and stats

There's been little loot from Lucchese's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 10 away games in the Serie C: Girone B. Lucchese only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 4 draws. Sharing is caring, but Lucchese are perhaps overdoing it with their four draws in a row.

Visconti was the last player to score for the away team. Lucchese haven't scored a league goal in the last 402 minutes. Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Lucchese goalkeeper Jacopo Coletta is eager to challenge this, with his 656 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Pistoiese (placed 18th) in their previous outing. The Serie C: Girone B match ended in a draw 0-0.

A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Carrarese.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Imolese in just three days.

The attacking power of Lucchese when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 10 league matches away.
