Serie B 2025-2026: Cesena-Venezia, the likely lineups

On the evening of today, at 7:30 p.m., the’Orogel Stadium – Dino Manuzzi in Cesena will host a high-stakes challenge between Cesena and top-ranked Venezia, valid for the 25th day of the Serie B 2025-26. On the one hand, Venezia, first in the standings with 50 points in 24 games (15 wins, 5 draws, 4 losses), is in the midst of a race for direct promotion. With a solid defense and a quality attack, coach Stroppa‘s team has shown great continuity, losing only once in the last five matches. However, the Cesena trip represents a tough challenge to consolidate the top spot.

On the other hand, Cesena occupies the eighth position with 37 points (11 wins, 4 draws, 9 losses) and comes to this match with three losses in the last five matches. Despite some recent difficulties, the Bianconeri are always dangerous in front of their own public and will try to take advantage of the home factor to stop Venezia’s run. Coach Magnani’s team has scored 32 goals and conceded 30 and knows that a win could boost them in the fight for a playoff spot.
