Benevento, Italy (Interstat) — A crucial Serie C clash with playoff implications is set for Saturday as Benevento hosts rival Latina at the Stadio Ciro Vigorito.

The match arrives with the home side in strong form and holding a significant psychological edge. Benevento (12-5-3) sits near the top of the table and is riding a four-match winning streak, most recently a 1-0 victory over Picerno on Feb. 6. Their attack has been potent, scoring three or more goals in five of their last ten outings.

Latina (4-8-8), meanwhile, seeks stability. They are winless in their last three matches, including a 1-0 loss to Team Altamura on Tuesday. Their form has been inconsistent, with just one victory in their previous ten league games. However, a 2-0 win over Foggia on Jan. 24 shows their capability.

The head-to-head history adds intrigue. In their last meeting on Oct. 3, 2025, Latina secured a 1-0 home victory. Benevento will be eager to avenge that result in front of their supporters.

Statistical projections present a conflicting outlook. Interstat’s game simulator predicts a 1-1 draw. Conversely, its ELO rating system gives Benevento a commanding 93.80% probability to win, highlighting the disparity in the teams’ recent trajectories.

For Benevento, a victory is essential to maintain pressure on the league leaders. Key attackers will look to exploit a Latina defense that has kept only one clean sheet in its last five matches.

Latina’s challenge will be to stifle Benevento’s momentum and rediscover their scoring touch. They will likely rely on a disciplined defensive structure and look to capitalize on set pieces or counter-attacks.

Following this fixture, Benevento travels to face Team Altamura on Feb. 22. Latina remains at home to host Potenza Calcio on Feb. 21.

Kickoff is scheduled for 2:45 p.m. local time (1345 GMT) on Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026.
