Cesena

DLDDLL ⚠

Cesena will be hoping for a better result following a 3-0 Serie B loss in their previous game against Mantova.

In that match, Cesena had 36% possession and 10 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. For their opponents, Mantova had 21 attempts at goal with 8 of them on target. Antonio Fiori (19'), Davide Bragantini (80') and Alessandro Debenedetti (95') scored for Mantova.

Cesena have really struggled up front in more recent games. Their goals record equals just 3 versus opponents during their last 6 outings. In those games, Cesena have also seen the number of goals against them total 9.

Pre-game facts show that Cesena:

• have not been beaten in the league by Palermo in their last 4 games.
• haven't beaten Palermo in their last 8 league games.
• are without a win at home for the past 4 league games. Fans are getting restless.

Palermo

LWWLWL

After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Südtirol-Alto Adige in Serie B action, Palermo will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that game, Palermo had 59% possession and 17 shots on goal with 5 on target. The only player to score for Palermo was Pietro Ceccaroni (27'). Sudtirol got 15 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. Antonio Barreca (47') and Gabriele Gori (75') scored for Südtirol-Alto Adige.

The stats tell the story, and Palermo have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, with opponents netting 12 goals in total. At the back, Palermo have some weaknesses to address. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to be continued here, however.

Coming into this clash, Palermo haven't won against Cesena when they have played them away from home in the previous 4 matches in the league. Not good.

🗞️ Team News: Palermo

In an otherwise available group of players, there is just the one fitness worry for the Palermo manager Alessio Dionisi to be concerned about. Alfred Gomis (Patellar tendon rupture) misses out for this game.

🔮 Prediction

We feel that over the course of the game, Palermo might well have a job on their hands to break down this Cesena side who we think should score one, at least.

We therefore see a narrow 1-0 winning score for Cesena after 90 minutes.

A close call.
