AC Cesena versus Inter Milan: Serie A Preview
AC Cesena will host Inter Milan in what is a must-win-match for Leonardo Araujo’s side. The two teams will lock heads on Saturday, April 30 at the Stadio http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dino-c11319 Manuzzi. A win for Inter could
close gap on the leaders, AC Milan, at least for the next 24 hours, provided if Milan wins their next game on Sunday, May 1, against Bologna.
AC Cesena
Cesena are currently 15th in the League table with 37 points and are just two points short of the relegation zone. The tie against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 holds a lot of importance for Massimo Ficcadenti’s
side, who desperately need to get at least a point in the game. The Seahorses have won only nine games so far this season from their 34 and have recorded six of them at home which is an encouraging sign for Cesena. They have lost more playing away than at
home, six to be precise as compared to nine away losses. Ficcadenti’s side hasn’t been that smart in front of the goal, scoring only 32 times, which is one of the causes of their disastrous season. Cesena in their last five games have shown a relatively decent
form, wining on two occasions while two of their games ended in a draw. Seahorses lost one of their games against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775.
Inter Milan
Inter Milan are currently second in the league table with 66 points and are eight points adrift of the current leaders, AC Milan. Leonardo would want his side to register a win, which could
still leave them with a chance of attaining the Scudetto. A loss or even a draw at Cesena would end all hopes of the Nerazzurri. Inter haven’t been that decent away from home as they have equal number of wins and losses as compared to their home form. Out
of the 20 wins so far in the campaign, only seven have come while playing away while seven of the eight losses have also been away from home. The Blacks and Blues have scored 60 goals so far in the campaign as compared to their opponent’s 32 while they have
conceded 38 from 34 games. In their last five games, Inter have recorded three wins while two games against Schalke'04 and Parma ended in a loss.
