MATCH PREVIEW: CITTA DELLA TO HOST VIRTUS VERONA IN SERIE C CLASH

VERONA, Italy (Interstat) — A resurgent Virtus Verona side will look to continue its climb up the Serie C table when it visits AS Cittadella on Saturday, Jan. 3, 2026.

The matchup, organized by Italy’s Serie C, pits a visiting team gathering momentum against a home side seeking consistency at the Stadio Piercesare Tombolato.

Virtus Verona (3-5-6) enters on the strength of a 1-0 road victory at Alcione Milano on Dec. 13, its last recorded match. Key midfield contributors in that win included Jacopo Lanzi, Guillaume Philippe Renault and Filippo Gallazzi, each of whom was substituted out in the second half. The result extended Verona’s unbeaten run to three matches (1-0-2), following a draw with Pergolettese and a win over Triestina.

AS Cittadella (5-6-3) last played on Dec. 21, securing a 2-0 away win against AS Giana Erminio. That victory provided a boost after a patchy run of form that included two draws and a loss in its prior three outings. Cittadella’s season has been marked by defensive solidity at times, but a lack of cutting edge in attack has led to a series of draws.

Recent history and statistical models suggest a tight, low-scoring affair. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-0 victory for the home side.

The contest represents a quick turnaround for Cittadella, which is scheduled to host Correggese the following day, Sunday, Jan. 4.

Kickoff is set for 2:45 p.m. local time (1345 GMT) in Cittadella.
