Cesena 2-2 Cremonese result, stats and report

A tight, low-scoring affair at Cremonese ended level, but the stats and flashpoints inside it paint a picture of two sides who could not convert when it mattered. Connor Maguire breaks down what actually happened.

Cristian Shpendi gave Cesena the lead at the half-hour mark but Antonio Di Nardo's second-half equaliser earned Juve Stabia a hard-fought draw in Serie B on Friday night. A game of genuine effort and no shortage of incident, but neither side could find a winner.

Cesena led through Cristian Shpendi's brace but Cremonese showed real desire in the second half, with Michele Collocolo and Federico Bonazzoli completing a remarkable comeback in Serie B.

Giacomo Olzer scored twice before half-time and Giuseppe Caso added a third as Modena produced a clinical away performance to dismantle Cremonese 3-0 in Serie B. Cremonese created plenty of activity but zero end product, and that tells you everything you need to know.

Cesena have drawn three of their last five Serie B matches and kept zero clean sheets in that run. Avellino arrive with five wins from their last ten and a defence that has kept opponents out in half of those games.

Two Serie B sides with identical problems meet at the Arena Garibaldi on Saturday. Neither Pisa nor Cremonese have convinced anyone yet, and that makes this one genuinely hard to call.

Arezzo host Cremonese in Serie B on Saturday evening with both sides having taken two losses from their last three outings. Something has to give, and neither team looks capable of defending properly.

Benevento head into Saturday's Serie B clash without a win in their last three completed matches, while Cesena have drawn more often than they have won or lost. Something has to give.
