Cristian Shpendi leads Cesena to Stadio Romeo Menti
Cristian Shpendi arrives at the Stadio Romeo Menti as the man to watch, carrying a remarkable scoring rhythm that has defined Cesena’s attacking output in recent months. As the Serie B campaign reaches matchday 5 this Friday, the forward will look to test a Juve Stabia backline that is eager to regain its composure on home soil.
Cesena’s reliance on Cristian Shpendi has been rewarded with consistent production, with the forward netting 7 goals across his last 9 appearances. His ability to find space in the final third will be the primary concern for the Juve Stabia defensive unit, which is expected to feature Giulio Scuderi and Marco Bellich. If the visitors can feed their talisman effectively, they will fancy their chances of breaking down the hosts.
Juve Stabia are expected to line up with Leonardo Candellone and Antonio Di Nardo leading the attack, supported by a midfield quartet of Nicola Patane, Christian Pierobon, Davide Buglio, and Nermin Karic. Pietro Boer will anchor the defense from between the posts, aiming to provide stability following a mixed start to the season. Cesena are expected to counter with a forward-heavy approach, featuring Shpendi alongside Antonio Fiori and Xavello Druiventak, while Alessandro Siano remains the expected choice in goal.
Juve Stabia’s recent form has been testing, with a draw against LR Vicenza and a home defeat to Pisa highlighting the difficulties of the early campaign. They have shown glimpses of quality, such as their narrow victory over Sampdoria in late August, but defensive lapses late in matches have proven costly. Cesena have proven difficult to beat recently, stringing together a series of draws against Cremonese, Mantova, and Sampdoria, showing a resilience that makes them a tough opponent on their travels.
History suggests that Juve Stabia have enjoyed the upper hand in recent meetings, including a 2-0 victory over Cesena as recently as 11 April 2026. While that result will provide confidence for the hosts, Cesena’s current unbeaten run in their last four league matches suggests a different narrative may be unfolding this season. Both sides will be looking to assert their dominance in this fixture to climb the table during this early stage of the competition.
