Comparative Team Statistics: Sudtirol vs Cesena

A history of tight meetings

The head-to-head record goes back to 2019 and shows these teams drawing four of their last seven encounters. The most recent meeting, back in April this year, ended 1-1 at Cesena.

Sudtirol did win the reverse fixture at home in October 2025 by a single goal, so there's some recent precedent for a narrow home win in this exact fixture too.

Draws have been the most common result between these two, though Sudtirol have shown they can edge it at home.

Where they stand so far

Sudtirol are currently second with 11 points from five games, built on three wins and two draws without a loss. Cesena sit down in tenth with seven points from the same number of matches, having won just once alongside four draws.

That gap in points reflects a much tighter defence from Sudtirol in this small early sample, conceding only three compared with Cesena's six.

Sudtirol's unbeaten start gives them the stronger platform on paper, though five games is still a limited sample.

Key names to watch

Cesena's main attacking threat is Shpendi, who has scored six goals in just five appearances this season, easily the standout scoring record in this preview's data. He's also picked up three yellow cards in that time, so discipline is worth keeping an eye on.

Sudtirol:

Best scorers:

K. Mixtur - 2

Penalty cards:

G. Stabile x 1 x 1

Cesena:

Best scorers:

C. Shpendi - 6

Penalty cards:

A. David x 1 x 1

C. Shpendi x 3

For Sudtirol, Mixtur has two goals in three matches, while Stabile has already seen a red card alongside a yellow in just three appearances, suggesting some edge to his game that could matter in a tight contest.

Shpendi's scoring rate makes him Cesena's biggest asset, but both sides have players at risk of picking up cards.
