Cesena – Sampdoria

Cesena managed only a point at home as Sampdoria rescued a 1‑1 draw, leaving the hosts still perched in ninth place with seven points from five games (one win, four draws) and a narrow +1 goal difference. The visitors, meanwhile, remain stuck in the relegation zone at 18th, their four points coming from a solitary win and a draw, while their -4 goal difference reflects a leaky defence. The stalemate mirrors their head‑to‑head this season, which has produced just one draw and no victories for either side. Both clubs will now look to turn the single point from this encounter into momentum as the league race tightens.
