In a stadium “Manuzzi” one step away from a full house, the derby between Cesena and Reggiana, the two strongest and best equipped teams of the Serie B, who are competing for direct promotion. A great occasion for both, respectively second and first, separated in the standings by just four points.
Ahead of them are Aimo Diana’s Granata, who, by making a big splash, could try to escape to the B league. So it is Domenico Toscano’s Bianconeri who have the most pressure, as a draw would keep the current distances intact and would sound like a half-success for Reggiana. The Emilian formation, immediately back to winning ways after the false step in Ancona that interrupted the long series of victories, wants to chase away the ghosts of last year, when after a very close fight it was overtaken by Modena’s cousins. Behind, in fact, Cesena is not missing a beat and the last defeat dates back to November. Since then, the Romagnoli have collected nine victories and two draws, and in the last two days they have literally gone wild, scoring eight goals in total between Siena and Imolese. Reggiana, on the other hand, beat Gubbio 3-1, archiving the setback – the fourth in 27 turns – suffered in the away match in the Marche.
The most curious statistic is the one regarding goals scored and conceded: both Cesena and Reggiana have scored 46 goals and conceded 17. Therefore, great balance is looming in a direct clash that could also decide the fate of the season. In the first leg Cesena won 1-0 thanks to a penalty kick converted by Corazza. As for the line-up, it is Diana who has a few more dilemmas, given the numerous absences, from Libutti to Cigarini, passing through Montalto, Nicoletti and Muroni.
The Prediction
The two main forces in this round, the two candidates for direct promotion, clash. It’s hard to predict the final result in a match that promises to be wide open. Both could score. A draw cannot be ruled out.
