This is Cesena FC’s final match before the international break; they will host US Catanzaro at home in a match valid for Matchday 11 of the 2026/27 Serie BKT season, scheduled for Saturday, November 7, at 3:00 p.m.

HEAD-TO-HEAD HISTORY

There have been a total of 23 previous Serie BKT matches between the two teams, including the game from the first round of the 2024–2025 playoffs.

Considering only matches played in Romagna, US Catanzaro has lost all of its last six away games against Cesena, with an aggregate score of 3–14, after having suffered just one defeat in the previous five (2W, 2D). Against no other team have the Giallorossi recorded a longer current streak of consecutive losses in the second-tier league so far.

STATISTICS AND FUN FACTS

Cesena FC and US Catanzaro have scored the same number of goals so far (11 goals), though the Cavalluccio has also recorded a higher number of clear-cut scoring chances (24 vs. 17), making them the sixth-best team in the league in this specific category.

The Bianconeri’s shots on goal haven’t been particularly lucky so far: with six shots hitting the woodwork, in fact, Cesena FC is second only to UC Sampdoria and Modena FC in the number of posts and crossbars hit.

On the defensive end, US Catanzaro is the team that has conceded the most goals (22) and ranks third from last in shots allowed (168), but it is among the six teams—along with Cesena FC—that have never conceded a goal in the first quarter-hour of play.

On an individual level, Jacopo Gelli is the defender who has played the most minutes (738’) in this league without ever being dribbled past by an opponent.

Mehdi Dorval, on the other hand, found the back of the net again in the last match against Padova after a 39-game scoring drought in the tournament: since his debut in the competition (2022/23), the 2001-born player is the defender with the most assists in Serie BKT: 14 (exactly double the number of goals he’s scored), though he hasn’t recorded any in the current season yet.
