Juve Stabia - Cesena

Leonardo Candellone remains the focal point for Juve Stabia as they return to Stadio Romeo Menti, Stabia for this matchday 5 encounter on 18 September 2026. After a testing start to the Serie B campaign, the side will look to rediscover the clinical edge that saw them secure a notable 2-1 victory over Sampdoria in late August. With Pietro Boer expected to anchor the defence and Candellone spearheading the attack, the hosts are aiming to bounce back from their recent 1-1 draw against LR Vicenza and a difficult home defeat to Pisa.

Cesena arrive in search of stability, having shared the spoils in their last two Serie B outings against Cremonese and Mantova. Cristian Shpendi continues to lead their forward line, supported by a midfield unit tasked with controlling the tempo. While Cesena have proven difficult to beat recently, they will be wary of a Juve Stabia side that enjoyed success in their most recent head-to-head meeting, a 2-0 win in April 2026.
