Stats for this game
Matchup Sampdoria VS Cesena
Cesena’s narrow away wins
Cesena supplied a clear counterpoint to Sampdoria’s home setting by winning 2-1 there on 17 January 2025 and again on 13 September 2025. The margins were identical and narrow, giving Cesena a meaningful edge without placing the contest beyond Sampdoria’s reach. The narrow margins leave very little room for complacency at either ground.
Draws return in Cesena
The meeting in Cesena on 25 April 2026 ended 0-0, followed by a 1-1 draw there on 23 August 2026. Those results show that home ground has not guaranteed a winner and that Sampdoria can deny separation even when Cesena carry an established away answer into the contest.
Balance without certainty
Future encounters will ask whether Cesena can turn their narrow victories into a more dependable advantage or whether Sampdoria can convert parity into a win. The evidence remains close, with venue and small margins offering clues but no settled conclusion.
