Match Preview

Two of Serie B's most in-form sides are set to collide at the Stadio Dino Manuzzi.

Cesena enter the clash fresh off a 2-1 away victory over Virtus Entella, while Mantova produced a convincing 3-1 home win against Empoli.

Everything points to a tightly contested affair, though history favors the hosts: Cesena have taken victory in four of the last six meetings between the sides, with their last draw dating back to the 2020/21 season.

Cesena have scored three goals in their opening two Serie B fixtures, while Mantova boast the joint-best attack in the league alongside Modena, having found the net five times.
