Match context
A close game is expected in Saturday's Serie B 2026-2027 match at Stadio Comunale di Chiavari when 20th-placed Virtus Entella (0 points from 1 game) host 10th-placed Cesena FC (1 point from 1 match).
ACD Virtus Entella have won two and lost three of their last five matches and are looking to end a two-game losing run in this match.
The home side's recent form is a mixed bag and they are a short odds to take the points here, but Cesena can make a strong case for a double chance bet and they lead the last five head-to-heads 3-1 with 1 draw.
Entella tactics
Andrea Chiappella has his Entella side playing with control and compactness in their preferred 3-4-2-1 formation, patiently building from the back and looking to press with urgency in phases as opposed to chasing the ball in a chaotic fashion.
Cesena have the sharpness and speed to cause problems
Cesena have won none, drawn three and lost two of their last five competitive games and will need to find a bit more sharpness and penetration to avoid another defeat here.
Alessandro Diamanti is trying to get a little more tempo out of his team and they will line up in a more proactive 4-3-3 with some width to them.
The slight Virtus Entella will be looking to slow down the game and it will be a control vs tempo battle in a cagey Serie B game.
- Luigi Cuppone has provided a key finisher for Entella in their 3-4-2-1 system, scoring two of their five goals in the last five games, but they will need more than his individual contributions here.
- They will look to play fast-paced vertical soccer and their forward players will have to work for the ball, but Cristian Shpendi has been a reliable performer up top, notching three of their four goals in the last five.
- The under 2.5 goals line is available at 1.7 and both teams to score – no at 1.85 look good options in this one, with the slight home edge in Entella's favour and a one-goal victory for the hosts or a low-scoring draw looking the most likely outcomes.
