Cesena and Sampdoria open Serie B campaigns at Orogel Stadium
All eyes will be on Lorenzo Insigne as he leads the Sampdoria attack in this opening matchday of the Serie B season. His ability to unlock defences will be the primary focus for the visitors as they look to make an immediate statement at the Orogel Stadium-Dino Manuzzi on 23 August 2026.
Cesena face a challenging start to their campaign with significant personnel concerns at the back. The absence of the injured Matteo Piacentini and the suspended Massimiliano Mangraviti forces a defensive adjustment for the expected starting XI. Alessandro Siano will likely be protected by a back four featuring Antonio David, Mark Natta, Mihajlo Ilic, and Andrea Ciofi as they look to contain the Sampdoria frontline.
Sampdoria enter the match with a clear emphasis on building from a stable foundation. The expected lineup features a midfield trio of Alessandro Bellemo, Salvatore Esposito, and Liam Henderson, tasked with dictating the tempo of the game. Behind them, the defensive unit, anchored by Peter Vindahl Jensen, has shown resilience recently, keeping clean sheets in five of their last nine outings.
History between these two sides suggests a closely contested affair. Their most recent meeting on 25 April 2026 ended in a goalless draw, reflecting the competitive nature of their Serie B encounters. With previous results including a 2-1 win for Cesena in September 2025 and a high-scoring 5-3 victory for Sampdoria in October 2024, the fixture has historically offered plenty of drama.
Both teams head into this match looking to bounce back from disappointment in their most recent competitive appearances. Cesena suffered a 3-0 defeat to Sassuolo in the Coppa Italia, while Sampdoria fell 2-0 to Cremonese in the same competition. Both sides will be eager to put those results behind them and secure a positive start to their league season.
