Cosenza vs Cesena FC Best odds and tips

Cesena FC are expected to win at Cosenza in Serie B on Friday and the bookmakers are right to make them favourites for the match at 2.30, with the home side available at 3.10 and the draw at 3.20. The visitors, who beat Cosenza 2-1 at home in Serie B 2024/2025 four months ago, have been more positive under Michele Mignani, who took charge in July 2024 and has been praised for his more progressive approach to the game. Cesena are more likely to play in fluid formations and press high up the field when they can, preferring to dictate the pace of the game and play vertically when possible. Cosenza, on the other hand, are a more conservative and reactive side that sits deep, absorbs pressure and rarely presses high up the field. Massimiliano Alvini took over as Cosenza's head coach on March 31, 2025 and has aimed to instill resilience in a struggling squad. Gabriele Artistico leads Cosenza’s frontline with six Serie B goals in 31 games, but Massimo Zilli has hit form for Cosenza, scoring half of their last 4 goals in the previous 5 matches.

Cosenza have been better at home of late, going unbeaten in their last two in front of their own fans with a 1-0 win over Bari. Cesena have been less impressive on the road of late, failing to win in their last two away games. But Dario Saric has given them a boost with two of their last three goals in Serie B, while Cristian Shpendi has been Cesena’s most reliable forward with 11 in 32 Serie B appearances. With the visitors higher in the table, better goal difference and the bookies odds on their side, we’re backing Cesena to edge this one. Cosenza will be desperate for the points as they try to claw their way out of the bottom two and Serie B survival, but we think the visitors have the quality to take the win. A low-scoring affair seems likely given Cosenza’s defensive approach and Cesena’s average away returns of 4-4-9 from 17 away games in Serie B 2024-2025 and exactly 1.00 goal per game scored on their travels, so under 2.5 goals could be the best play here.
