Cesena form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie C: Girone B, Cesena have managed 2 wins, 1 draw and suffered 3 defeats from 6 games.

The home team returns to Orogel Stadium-Dino Manuzzi after being equal after 90 minutes with Matelica Calcio (placed 10th) on their last time out; the Serie C: Girone B game ended 2-2. Ahead of that match, Cesena won a home game hosting Ravenna (4-0).

There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Matelica Calcio as M. Bortolussi's goal in the 90th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes.

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 eight games. Cesena has won three of these, drawn three and lost two.

Cesena have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Orogel Stadium-Dino Manuzzi with 10 goals in 6 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Cesena defense is not exactly impregnable. 9 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Modena form and stats

The visitors are W3-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Serie C: Girone B.

Modena might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Südtirol proved too strong as Modena slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Alberto Braglia. Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Mantova.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Modena playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were one Modena win, one draw and two defeats.

Modena are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 6 away goals from 6 games (in the league). The Modena defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (3 goals in 6 games).
