At 20:30 at the Dino Manuzzi stadium in Cesena, Cesena and Carrarese will take to the field, a very important match for both the home team, who after six years return to play a Serie B match; and for the guests who, after last year’s splendid championship, will have to prove that they are also up to the task of a major championship. Both teams are keen to start well and will fight to get the three points. Both therefore have the will to do well in this first match of Serie B.
How Cesena arrives
Magnani’s team comes from a practically perfect championship with 96 points won, 80 goals scored and only 19 conceded. Despite this, the Bianconeri have opted for a change on the bench this year, moving from Mimmo Toscano to Michele Magnani who will now have the responsibility of continuing this growth project that has accompanied the seahorses for six years, that is, since the bankruptcy and the restart from Serie D. To succeed in winning, the home team must continue to pursue the excellent home streak of last year, when at the Dino Manuzzi the Bianconeri achieved 17 victories and 2 draws out of 19 games played. To obtain the three points, the coach will rely on the usual Christian Shpendi who last year dragged Cesena with 20 goals.
How the Carrarese arrives
The guests, unlike the hosts, after the splendid ride and the subsequent promotion from Serie C to Serie B, have decided to confirm the Apulian coach Antonio Calabro. The yellow and blues will have to get back on their feet after the defeat and subsequent elimination from the Italian Cup against Cagliari by 3 to 1. The three points would therefore be vital to raise morale and start off at the top of this new championship. The match history is in favor of Carrarese who in the last three direct clashes against Cesena has won twice and lost only once. Coach and fans are once again hoping for Mattia Finotto who scored the historic winning goal in the PlayOff final.
