Cesena – Empoli

Match analysis

The clash at the Dall'Ara will see ninth‑placed Cesà, who have amassed seven points from one win and four draws while edging a 7‑6 goal tally, host twelfth‑placed Empoli, who sit on six points after two victories but three defeats and a 4‑6 deficit. Cesà’s unbeaten run of four games gives them a slight edge in confidence, yet Empoli’s two wins this season show they can turn a tight game in their favour. Both sides have struggled to find the net consistently, with Cesà scoring just one more than they have conceded, while Empoli have netted four fewer than they have let in. The match could prove pivotal for the mid‑table scramble, as a win would lift either side into the top‑eight while a draw would keep Cesà’s modest lead intact.
