Cesena take on the visitors Perugia in the round 1 match of Italian Serie B. The match takes place at Dino Manuzzi Stadium on Monday, August 29th.
The Sea Horses finished sixth last season in Serie B, gaining 68 points in 42 matches with 57-37 goal difference. That results gave them an opportunity to promote to elite division but they lost their quarterfinal matchup to Spezia, 1-2. The team played only three sparring matches this summer and won all of them: 4-1 over Forli, 2-0 over Fiorentina and 2-1 over Santarcangelo. The team also advanced for the round of 32 of Coppa Italia, eliminating Arezzo and Ternana, both wins were 2-0.

Perugia failed the end of previous season, taking one win in nine last matches. So, instead of battling for promotion to Serie A, Perugia finished 10th with 55 points and 40-40 aggregate goal difference. The visiting side played only three matches during pre-season, beating Panetolikos and Spal, 1-0 both and drawing with Carpi, 0-0. On top of that, the team passed two rounds of Coppa Italia, eliminating Alessandria, 1-0 and Carpi, 2-1.
Previous four head-to-heads between opponents ended with one win of each side and two draws. The teams are of about the same level and show excellent defensive football, so we can expect a low-scoring result in the clash of two equal opponents.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
