Cesena have shown signs of improvements from time to time but their effort has not matched the results. Heading into Week 27 the Seahorses find themselves second from bottom in the league table, having mustered 22 points from 26 matches.
Last weekend Massimo Ficcadenti’s side played out a high-scoring 2-2 draw with fellow relegation candidates Parma on the road to bring to an end to back-to-back defeats. However, Cesena have yet to win a league match since the first week of January when they won 2-1 in Brescia.
Mid-Table Safety
Worries of relegation had crept in on Chievo but the Flying Donkeys’ revival since late January means that they are now comfortably placed in mid-table and are likely finish there as well at the end of the season.
With 31 points from 26 matches, Chievo find themselves in 13th position in the league standings. Last weekend’s 2-1 defeat to Milan in Verona was their second successive loss in the league after they lost to Cagliari in Sardinia the weekend before.
Chievo have a poor record on the road this season but Stefano Pioli’s side will hope to collect all three points on Sunday given that they are up against one of the worst teams in the Italian first division.
