Serie C: Girone B: Siena are ready for the visit of Cesena in what could be an absorbing football game. Here's all the pre-match info you need!
- Siena have the fewest conceded goals (1) in Serie C: Girone B
- Cesena have won at least twice as many corners as they have conceded.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Cesena have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 17-12-10 (win-draw-loss) from 39 matches.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Siena and Cesena.
