Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Friday’s football game between Pescara and Cesena will open the 2025/2026 Serie B campaign. Pescara aim to recover from the Coppa Italia loss to Parma and their fine performances in preseason must be fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Cesena’s visit. A man to watch in the home team will be summer signing Gianmarco Cangiano. The Bianconeri, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a heart-breaking Italian Cup defeat to Pisa.
Cesena are not regarded as good travellers and, taking everything into account, we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from Friday’s clash. It has to be noted that Cesena chiefs have signed the likes of Gianluca Frabotta, Dimitri Bisoli, Marco Olivieri, Matteo Guidi, and Jalen Blesa in the summer transfer window. Under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last five meetings in the Italian second tier.
