The Oracle’s data-led preview with team news, odds, and tactical insights."> </head> <body> <h1>Cesena vs Carrarese: Value Bets From Venue Splits and Late-Goal Profiles</h1> <p>Cesena return to the Orogel Stadium-Dino Manuzzi on October 28 aiming to consolidate a top-three start, while Carrarese arrive as one of Serie B’s toughest teams to beat on the road. The Oracle sees value in markets that capture Cesena’s unusual home pattern and Carrarese’s late-game resilience.</p> <h2>Form and Venue Dynamics</h2> <p>Cesena’s overall profile is strong, but the home resume lags: 0.67 points per game at home (0W, 2D, 1L) with 1-1, 1-1, and 1-2 their three scorelines. They’ve scored first in all three home matches yet failed to defend any of those leads. That single quirk reframes this match: it fuels both teams to score and gives the underdog a foothold.</p> <p>Carrarese are unbeaten away (1W, 3D), and their equalizing rate away from home is 100%. They’re comfortable riding game states, spending only 8% of away minutes trailing. The away scoring record is dependable, too: 0% failed to score on the road.</p> <h2>Goal Timing: Expect the Late Surge</h2> <p>Carrarese’s goal map is built on endurance and late pressure. They’ve scored six times in the 76–90 minute window and record 56% of their goals after half-time. They also concede more late, aligning neatly with Cesena’s habit of allowing second-half goals at home. This supports 2nd Half as the highest scoring half at an attractive 2.10, as well as BTTS.</p> <h2>Tactical Matchup: 3-5-2 vs 3-5-2</h2> <p>Both managers are expected to mirror with a 3-5-2. For Cesena, the midfield axis of Michele Castagnetti’s distribution and Tommaso Berti’s progressive passing (already four league assists) should feed Cristian Shpendi’s darting runs and Riccardo Ciervo’s ball-carrying on the outside. The wingbacks’ timing is crucial: Cesena have dominated first scores but lost control after the break—game management and substitutions will be decisive.</p> <p>Carrarese’s width via Simone Zanon and the industry of Emanuele Zuelli and Luis Hasa give them surges in transition and second balls around the box. Nicolás Schiavi is the key finisher, and notably, he has penalties in his locker—valuable against a Cesena side with 0% home clean sheets this season.</p> <h2>Team News and Selection Notes</h2> <p>Cesena report no significant absences and are expected to maintain continuity—an edge in a league where cohesion matters. Carrarese are without goalkeeper Stefano Mazzini, but Marco Bleve has handled starting duties well and rates strongly this season. Expect Carrarese to keep faith with Illanes–Imperiale at the back and a Finotto–Abiuso pairing up top to press the back three and attack wide-to-central spaces.</p> <h2>Market Read: Where the Value Sits</h2> <ul> <li>Both Teams To Score – Yes at 1.83: Cesena’s home BTTS is 100%, their clean sheets at home 0%, while Carrarese away have never failed to score. Price implies ~55%; data pushes this well north of 65%.</li> <li>Double Chance Draw/Away at 1.75: Cesena’s home returns (0W in 3) and Carrarese’s unbeaten away slate tilt the probability towards the underdog avoiding defeat.</li> <li>Highest Scoring Half – 2nd Half at 2.10: Carrarese’s late scoring and concessions, combined with Cesena’s 2nd-half slippage, favor a lively finish.</li> <li>Over 2.5 Goals at 2.10: With both teams living around a 3.0 total-goals baseline and BTTS trends strong, this is a fair plus-money swing.</li> <li>Prop: Nicolás Schiavi anytime at 7.50: Four league strikes already and set-piece/penalty equity at a long price against a home side with no clean sheet at the venue.</li> </ul> <h2>What Will Decide It</h2> <p>Game-state management. Cesena’s flaw is not initial control but sustaining it beyond half-time. Carrarese thrive on equalizers and late momentum. Expect periods where Cesena set the tempo and create the first big chance, with Carrarese responding after the interval via wingback pressure and central runners.</p> <h2>The Oracle’s Angle</h2> <p>This is a classic spot to fade heavy home weighting and lean into BTTS and late scoring. The smartest construction is BTTS as the core, Draw/Away as the safety net, and a sprinkle on 2nd-half goals and Schiavi at a mispriced anytime number.</p> </body> </html>
