Cesena vs Empoli prediction, odds and how to watch

Modena came from behind to beat Empoli 2-1 in Serie B, with Andrea Belotti and Giuseppe Ambrosino scoring after the break to overturn Gerard Yepes's early opener for the visitors. Empoli dominated the ball and created chance after chance but paid the price for poor finishing.

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.

Arezzo won 1-0 at Empoli in Serie B thanks to a Simone Romagnoli own goal on 74 minutes, a result that will sting Empoli badly given they had reduced their opponents to ten men earlier in the match. This is exactly the sort of result that tells you everything you need to know about a side.

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.

Ascoli host Empoli in Serie B on Saturday looking to build on a decent recent run, while the away side arrive having won just two of their last five. Something has to give.

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.

Palermo arrive at Empoli on Saturday full of confidence after four straight Serie B wins, but the hosts have quietly tightened up and will not roll over. This one matters.
