Virtus Entella vs. Cesena: Ligurians Aim for Immediate Recovery, Bianconeri Seek Away Victory
The second matchday of Serie BKT 2026-27 kicks off with Virtus Entella hosting Cesena at the 'Enrico Sannazzari' Stadium in Chiavari. The Ligurian side is looking for their first win and their initial three points in front of their home crowd, while the visitors from Romagna are aiming for an away triumph. The match is scheduled for 7 PM.
VIRTUS ENTELLA'S APPROACH - Following a setback in their opening match, Entella is preparing to welcome their fans back. After a narrow 1-0 defeat away to Südtirol in Bolzano, the Ligurians are seeking an immediate reaction. They will need to be more decisive in front of goal, coupled with the boost of home advantage, to secure their first points of the season. For this fixture, Coach Chiappella will rely on Del Frate in goal, with Parodi, Tiritiello, and Alborghetti forming the defensive line. In midfield, Previtali, Squizzato, Lucas Felippe, and Di Mario will play, with Franzoni supporting the strike partnership of Forte and Guiu.
CESENA'S APPROACH - Cesena is also looking for redemption. They arrive in Chiavari with one point from their opening match, a 1-1 draw at the 'Manuzzi' against Sampdoria. The Bianconeri have shown encouraging signs and aim to build on those to achieve their first away success of the campaign. Coach Diamanti is expected to deploy a 4-3-3 formation for the match against Entella, with Siano in goal, protected by a defense consisting of Ciofi, Ilic, Gelli, and Frabotta. The midfield will feature Bisoli, Pagano, and Guidi, while the attacking trio will be Druiventak, Debenedetti, and Fiori.
