Serie B takes the field today for Boxing Day. At 3pm, at the Orogel Stadium-Dino Manuzzi, Cesena and Cremonese will compete in the match valid for the 19th day of the Serie B championship. A direct clash of particular importance in the playoff zone: the hosts, in fact, are currently in sixth place with 25 points, while the guests occupy fifth position, with just one point ahead. The precedents at Cesena are 10, with a balance in favor of the Bianconeri with 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. The referee Davide Ghersini of the Genoa section will direct the match, assisted by assistants Cipriani and Arace and by the Fourth Official Maccarini.

HOW CESENA ARRIVES – In the month of December, the Romagna team are going through a period of difficulty: in the last four matches, in fact, they have collected just three points and are fresh from a narrow defeat at Juve Stabia on the last day. For today’s match, Mr. Mignani will have to do without three players: these are Ceesay and Bastoni, both stopped by the Sports Judge, but above all Cristian Shpendi, scorer of 10 goals in 16 games and true
and the jewel in the crown of the Cesena people.
HOW THE CREMONESE ARRIVES – The Grigiorossi come to this match looking for redemption, after the 1-1 draw with Sampdoria which cost them fourth place. It will therefore be very important for Stroppa’s boys not to make any further missteps. Given the importance of the match, Cremonese will be able to count on the support of its fans: in fact, 492 tickets have been sold for the visiting sector. There are 23 players called up for Cesena: Michele Collocolo absent due to family leave and Lorenzo Moretti, struggling with a muscle problem.
