"Starting with the hosts, despite suffering play-off heartbreak last season, Cesena have made it abundantly clear that they have their sights firmly set on punching another top-eight finish this time around. Despite currently being sat in pole position after their rampant start to the 2025/26 campaign, it is no secret that the Bianconeri are desperately searching for some essential stability."
"Despite securing a 2-1 victory away at Reggiana on January 17th, it appears that might have been just a minor boost for Michaele Mignani's camp. Last seen putting in another worrying performance as they slumped to a routine 3-1 drumming away at Avellino, Cesena have remarkably lost four of their previous five Serie B appearances. Likewise, putting just a sole win on the board since the December 13th, Friday's hosts have also shown some extended issues on home soil."
"As for the visitors, although Pescara might have only made their Serie B return this season, the Dolphins have a major task on their hands in the race to keep hold of their second-tier status. Sat rock-bottom of the table and almost universally regarded as the standout relegation contender in 2026, the Abruzzo-based outfit open Friday's battle sat six points adrift of safety."
Cesena aim for another top-eight finish but have struggled for consistency despite their early-season position. The Bianconeri sit in pole position after a strong start to 2025/26 but have lost four of their previous five Serie B matches. A 2-1 win at Reggiana on January 17th proved short-lived after a 3-1 defeat at Avellino. Cesena have recorded just one point from their last three home league games and only one win since December 13th. Pescara returned to Serie B but sit rock-bottom, six points from safety, with just one win in 18 league appearances and 44 goals conceded.
