Spezia-Cesena probable lineups and where to watch it

Views: 41
Spezia-Cesena is a match valid for the eighth round of the Serie B championship. It will be played on October 18 at 7:30 PM. The match will take place at the Alberto Picco stadium.
Spezia-Cesena is a game that seems to have no story, or rather to have one, but in favor of Cesena.
The team of the Aquilotti, in fact, is struggling and is stuck in the last position of the standings with only 3 points. On the other hand, Cesena is having a good season and is currently in sixth place with 11 points, just 1 point behind Venezia and Avellino.
The match promises to be potentially explosive because the players on the field are noteworthy: it could be – among other things – a match between Lapadula and Shpendi; not bad at all!

Spezia Overview
For the home team, a very difficult match is looming, considering that Spezia currently sits at the bottom of the Serie B standings. No wins so far, only four goals scored and eleven conceded, showing a team lacking balance and fragile.
Yet, this match could be the litmus test of a season that needs to be contained at least to stay away from the danger zone, the one that burns.
Coach D’Angelo must hope that a once-in-a-lifetime performance from his eleven on the field can change their fate and try to get closer to the top, which now seems very far away: a 12-point gap is becoming increasingly heavy!
Cesena Overview
Cesena, on the other hand, needs to get back on track after suffering two defeats in the last games but still holds a sixth-place position. The goal is to climb back up and maybe even try to reach the top-ranked Modena, who is only 6 points ahead.
Spezia-Cesena Probable Lineups
Spezia (3-5-2): Sarr, Wisniewski, Cistana, Hristov, Vignali, Cassata, S. Esposito, Kouda, Beruatto, Vlahovic, Lapadula. Coach: D’Angelo.
Cesena (3-4-1-2): Klinsmann, Ciofi, Mangraviti, Zaro, Ciervo, Francesconi, Castagnetti, Frabotta, Berti, Blesa, C. Shpendi. Coach: Mignani.
Where to Watch Spezia-Cesena
Spezia-Cesena can be watched on October 18 at 7:30 PM on DAZN and Amazon Prime, the latter with a subscription to the paid channel La B Channel.

Reflections at Sampdoria
In these days of intense reflections, the Sampdoria management finds itself at a crucial crossroads: the future of Massimo Donati hangs by a thread. The results achieved so far have not fully convinced the club, which is seriously considering a change of direction.
The figure of Salvatore Foti, former player and current technical collaborator, emerges as the main candidate to take the reins of the team. The experience gained in recent years has made Foti an appealing choice for many clubs, and Sampdoria could be ready to trust him.
Salvatore Foti: a heartfelt choice?
Salvatore Foti is not a new name for Sampdoria fans. His story with Sampdoria began on the field and could continue on the bench. His knowledge of the environment and his ability to manage the group are elements that could lead to a positive turning point. The management seems inclined to make a decision soon, aware of the importance of not wasting further precious time for the current season.

Riflessioni in casa Sampdoria
In questi giorni di intense riflessioni, la dirigenza della Sampdoria si trova a un bivio cruciale: il futuro di Massimo Donati è appeso a un filo. I risultati ottenuti sinora non hanno convinto pienamente la società, che sta seriamente considerando un cambio di rotta.
La figura di Salvatore Foti, ex calciatore e attuale collaboratore tecnico, emerge come candidato principale per prendere in mano le redini della squadra. L’esperienza maturata negli ultimi anni ha reso Foti una scelta appetibile per molti club, e la Sampdoria potrebbe essere pronta a dargli fiducia.
Salvatore Foti: una scelta di cuore?
Salvatore Foti non è un nome nuovo per i tifosi blucerchiati. La sua storia con la Sampdoria è iniziata sul campo e potrebbe proseguire in panchina. La sua conoscenza dell’ambiente e la sua capacità di gestire il gruppo sono elementi che potrebbero portare a una svolta positiva. La dirigenza sembra orientata a prendere una decisione a breve, consapevole dell’importanza di non perdere ulteriore tempo prezioso per la stagione in corso.
