Cesena
- Cesena look the more likely winners on Tuesday when they take on Empoli at Orogel Stadium-Dino Manuzzi, but the odds and both sides' recent form suggest this could be a tight contest.
- The home side are 12th in Serie B 2026/2027 with eight points from seven games while Empoli are 14th with seven points, so this game looks very evenly matched on paper.
- Cesena have drawn all four home games in Serie B 2026/2027 and are yet to be beaten at Stadio Dino Manuzzi.
- The home team have drawn four straight home games and are unbeaten in Serie B 2026/2027 at Stadio Dino Manuzzi, but three straight draws at this venue certainly isn't the way to win promotions.
Empoli
- Matteo Andreoletti was appointed as Empoli boss on 30 September 2026 and has inherited a side with plenty of potential.
- The Azzurri Empolesi had been playing a wing-back-heavy system with lots of high pressing and a couple of players had been set loose to go on runs, but it hadn't been working out.
- Empoli have conceded 1.50 goals per game in Serie B 2026/2027, shipping six in four away league games.
- Empoli have not been much better, with one win, one draw and three defeats in their last five matches, but they have shipped six goals in four road games in Serie B 2026/2027.
Key Players
- A high-energy game and an open match looks likely, but one man can make the difference for Cesena - Cristian Shpendi.
- He has six Serie B 2026/2027 goals in five matches and looks a man in form for I Cavallucci Marini.
- They will need to stop Empoli's sharpest finisher, Bogdan Popov, who has one goal in five Serie B 2026/2027 games, and has also scored two of the last five for them.
