Cesena - Cremonese

Can Cesena leverage home advantage at Orogel Stadium-Dino Manuzzi on 12 September 2026 to contain a versatile Cremonese side? The hosts enter this Serie B matchday 4 encounter with a balanced expected XI, featuring an attacking trio of Antonio Fiori, Cristian Shpendi, and Xavello Druiventak. However, they must navigate the contest without the injured Jonathan Klinsmann and Matteo Piacentini. Cremonese arrive with a tactical setup built around the midfield energy of Jari Vandeputte and Tommaso Berti, aiming to support Federico Bonazzoli in the final third.

Cesena showed resilience in their recent 2-1 victory over Virtus Entella, though they were held to a 1-1 draw by Mantova last time out. Cremonese have displayed a mixed run of form, rebounding from a 3-0 league defeat against Modena by securing a 3-1 win over Calcio Padova. With their last meeting in February 2025 ending in a 2-1 win for Cesena, the visitors will be keen to impose their structure early. Both teams are looking to build consistency as the season finds its rhythm.
