Sassuolo host Cesena at the Mapei Stadium in the Coppa Italia, looking to leverage their home advantage and top-tier quality to progress to the next round. The hosts enter the fixture dealing with midfield reshuffles following a major injury to Ismael Kone and the departure of Tarik Muharemovic. Nevertheless, key attacking figures Andrea Pinamonti and Armand Laurienté remain available to lead the offensive line. Cesena arrive with a resilient tactical approach focused on compact defending, though they will be tested as starting goalkeeper Jonathan Klinsmann remains sidelined.
Form and H2H
Sassuolo endured an inconsistent pre-season campaign that concluded with a 3-2 defeat to Augsburg, but they boast a strong competitive home record with five victories in their last seven official matches at the Mapei Stadium. Cesena built momentum through the summer by keeping four consecutive clean sheets in friendlies, part of a run that sees them with six clean sheets in their last seven outings. Head-to-head records favor the hosts, with Sassuolo winning recent competitive meetings between the two sides, including a commanding 3-0 victory in their most recent encounter.
Best Bet
Cesena's defensive discipline and low block may frustrate the hosts early on, but Sassuolo's individual quality in the final third should ultimately prove decisive over 90 minutes.
