We approach another week of non-stop action in the Serie B, where Ancona have a slender two point lead in the race for promotion, while Salernitana look set to be flushed down into the Lega Pro 1 if their miserable run continues.

Frosinone have a chance to get back on track following four straight losses, as an inconsistent Albinoleffe will visit the Stadio Matusa in the hope of taking something away from their opponents. Both sides have a leaky defence, but the Canarini are relatively better in the attacking third of the pitch, which should go some way in dictating the play in the presence of the tifosi. But they will have to take charge right from the word go, as a shaky confidence could be shattered if the visitors get a hold of the game early on.

Cesena are back with a bang after spending a season in the third-tier, and have been a revelation this season. They are currently in third place, and are three points shy of league leaders Ancona. The Seahorses will travel to Tuscany in order to take on Empoli at the Stadio Carlo Castellani. The visitors will hope to defend a proud run of going 14 games without getting beaten, while the Azzurri have the chance swap places with their opponents if they manage to stop them from taking away something from the encounter.

Ancona – Sassuolo
Empoli – Cesena
Frosinone – Albinoleffe
Lecce – Grosseto
Mantova – Cittadella
