Cesena

DLWDLL

Cesena will be wanting a better result here after a 2-0 Serie B defeat in their last game at the hands of Palermo.

In that match, Cesena managed 61% possession and 14 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. Palermo got 17 shots at goal with 3 on target. Joel Pohjanpalo (9', 71') scored for Palermo.

It has not been often in recent games where Cesena haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Cesena have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 games, leaking 11 goals on the way. Such a trend won’t necessarily be carried forward into this next game, though.

Taking a look at their past results, Cesena:

• have not lost a league tie with Sampdoria in their last 2 matches.
• are unbeaten in their previous 3 home league matches.

Sampdoria

🧠 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Sampdoria have the firepower to score a goal against this Cesena team, however it possibly won’t quite be as many as they will have scored against them.

We reckon that it will be a close game with a 2-1 winning score for Cesena at full-time. Expecting it to be very competitive.
