An early-season Emilian derby treat is on the cards as Sassuolo welcomes Cesena in the first round of the Coppa Italia. Sassuolo lost the only Coppa encounter between these teams but won six of their total nine meetings, placing them as favorites in this prediction.
The winner here faces Frosinone or Juve Stabia next. Sassuolo had a great campaign on their return to the Serie A last season. With the sole aim of avoiding relegation, the Neroverdi managed a mid-table finish under Fabio Grosso’s guidance.
The former Italian international has since left, with Alberto Aquilani taking over to continue with the team’s development. Despite a poor run in preseason, Sassuolo come here as favorites, having won six of their last nine home matches.
Cesena haven’t won a lot in this fixture, but in their only Coppa Italia meeting with Sassuolo, they posted a win. The 2-1 victory in 2017 away to Sassuolo still stands as their only triumph in the nine encounters in this fixture.
Apart from that result, Cesena avoided defeat against Sassuolo on just two other occasions, when they drew 1-1 both times. Head-to-head records don’t shine so brightly for Cesena, but they could turn the tide if only they'd replicate their preseason form.
The Bianconeri went undefeated in their five friendly games, winning four. While their off-season opponents weren’t that strong, Cesena notably went through the five matches without conceding a goal.
