**Cesena rolls in hot, but Forlì's got nothing to lose in this one.** 🔥 Early-season friendlies are always a vibe check, and the visitors look sharp after three straight wins.
Forlì grabbed a tidy 3-1 away last time out, but Cesena's been on a different level — three consecutive shutouts at home. Form says visitors, but it's preseason chaos; anything can happen.
Key storylines:
- **Cesena's defensive solidity** on their own patch will be the real test here, fresh off three clean sheets
- **Forlì looking to impress** after that away win, though the step up in opponent quality is real
- Midfield battle between **S. Bastoni** and **M. Mangraviti** could set the tone for build-up play
Expected lineups:
- **Cesena**: J. Klinsmann, A. Ciofi, G. Zaro, M. Piacentini, S. Pieraccini, M. Mangraviti, S. Bastoni, T. Berti, D. Bisoli, C. Shpendi, S. v. Hooijdonk
Prediction:
**Cesena 2-1 Forlì** — Home advantage and recent form give the hosts a slight edge, though a friendly rarely goes to script. 📋
