Competition: Italy Serie C: Girone B
Date: Sun 03.November
Match begins: 17:30 (UTC)
Venue: Stadio Bruno Recchioni (9500 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 14th place.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Cesena play their home games on artificial turf, while this game is played on grass. Recent stats for Cesena when playing on grass are 11 wins, 13 draws and 16 defeats from 40 matches. They have scored 45 goals and conceded 51 times in these games.

Fermana form and stats

Fermana's struggle is real here at Stadio Bruno Recchioni with only 4 points collected from 6 Serie C: Girone B games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-1-4. With Fermana having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager M. Antonioli.

Fermana are returning here after visiting Rimini in a Serie C: Girone B game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Before that game, the home loss against Triestina with the scoreline 0-3.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Fermana have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won 3 Drawn 4 Lost 4.

There will be little rest for Fermana after this match as they are travelling to Ternana for a Coppa Italia Serie C game in only two days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Fermana here at Stadio Bruno Recchioni in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (4 from 6 games). With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Fermana defense is not exactly impregnable. 9 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Cesena form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Cesena so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-3 (win-draw-lose). Cesena has drawn their two previous away games.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Ravenna (placed 13th) in their previous outing. The Serie C: Girone B match ended in a draw 1-1. Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Südtirol.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Cesena in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Cesena, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only two days as another away game awaits: The Coppa Italia Serie C trip to Ravenna.
