- Cesena have won one and lost one of their two most recent home games, but their form has been a bit erratic of late with a 3-1 loss at Avellino, a 2-0 home win over Pescara and a 0-0 away draw at Virtus Entella in the last three.

Head-to-Head
- Cesena FC and SSC Venezia have been mirroring each other’s tactical style to great effect in Serie B.
- The difference in their positions in the table, Venezia top on 50 points from 24 games and Cesena 7th on 37, depends very much on the different outcomes their respective coaches have been getting from similar systems.
- Giovanni Stroppa’s Venezia are essentially the same system, but his more balanced squad, with one more out-and-out midfielder in the middle of the field, have become the most balanced side in the league.
- Stroppa’s team are much better in the transition phases from defence to attack and are more patient in the build-up, so they can be as dangerous when playing at a controlled tempo as when they go hell for leather.
Key Players
- Andrea Adorante has been Venezia’s talisman in 2025-2026, finding the net 11 times in 22 Serie B appearances and scoring three of his team’s last ten goals in a run that has seen Venezia go to the top of the table.
- Cristian Shpendi is a natural finisher and has made a fantastic contribution to Cesena’s season with eight goals in 24 Serie B games, but it is the wingers who make his life easy.
