Cesena form and stats
Cesena have played 11 Serie C: Girone B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-3-5 (wins-draws-losses).
The home team returns to Orogel Stadium-Dino Manuzzi after being equal after 90 minutes with Piacenza (placed 7th) on their last time out; the Serie C: Girone B game ended 1-1. Heartbreak before that as Cesena lost 1-4 at Triestina's place.

Padova form and stats
The visitors are W5-D3-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Serie C: Girone B.
Padova had fun at their own home (Orogel Stadium-Dino Manuzzi) last time out, beating Vis Pesaro 4-0. D. Buglio, C. Santini, Ronaldo and F. Nicastro scored. A 1-1 draw at Carpi's stadium before that.
As mentioned above, Padova was the only team on the pitch versus Vis Pesaro in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
Padova are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 12 away goals from 12 games (in the league). It's not easy to score on Padova as they have only conceded 10 goals from these away games.
