Season ticket holders at Stadio Romeo Neri haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Rimini languishing in the 18th position so far. The guesting Cesena will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

This pitch has grass, which is not Cesena's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Cesena have performed like this: Played 38 matches resulting in 11 wins, 11 draws and 16 defeats with the goal stats 43-49 (scored/conceded).

Rimini form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie C: Girone B, Rimini have managed 1 win, 2 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 4 games.

The home team returns to Stadio Romeo Neri after sharing the points with Fano (placed 14th) on their last time out; the Serie C: Girone B game ended 0-0. Preceding that match was the home game against Virtus Verona that was lost 1-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Rimini perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Rimini as a small favourite), we find seven games. Rimini has won 2 of these, drawn 3 and lost 2.

The manager R. Cioffi will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Reggiana in only three days.

The Rimini fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 4 matches. On the other hand, Rimini have conceded 5 goals.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Cesena playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were 2 Cesena wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Cesena are hosting Sudtirol in the Serie C: Girone B only three days away.
