📏 Form Guide

Cosenza

LDDLWL

Cosenza will be hoping for a better result following the 2-1 Serie B defeat in their last game at the hands of Südtirol-Alto Adige.

In that game, Cosenza had 53% possession and 12 shots at goal with 3 on target. The only player to score for Cosenza was Simone Mazzocchi (18'). On the other side, Sudtirol got 15 shots on goal with 6 on target. Salvatore Molina (45') and Simone Davì (68') scored for Südtirol-Alto Adige.

It’s been seldom in recent times that Cosenza have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Cosenza have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, shipping 11 goals in the process.

Coming into this meeting, Cosenza are unbeaten in their previous 2 home league matches.

Cesena

LDDLLW

Cesena will come into the match following on from a 2-1 Serie B win to defeat Palermo in their previous game.

In that game, Cesena managed 39% possession and 12 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. For Cesena, the scorers were Giacomo Calò (37') and Dario Šarić (46'). At the other end, Palermo got 19 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. Niccolò Pierozzi (45') scored for Palermo.

The numbers tell their own story, and Cesena have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 10 goals in all. At the back, Cesena seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. That trend might not be sustained into this next game, however.

Coming into this meeting, Cesena have not won away from home in their last 3 league matches.

💭 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Cosenza may well find it hard to register a score against this Cesena lineup who we reckon will manage to score & go ahead.

We’re going for a narrow 0-1 win for Cesena when the referee blows for full-time.

Let’s see how it plays out.
