Triestina and Cesena have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Serie C: Girone B.

It's no vacation for neither Triestina nor Cesena as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

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 (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 13-15-12 (win-draw-loss) from 40 matches.
