BELLUNO, Italy (Interstat) — Two Serie C clubs seeking momentum will meet Saturday when SSD Dolomiti Bellunesi hosts Virtus Verona at Stadio Polisportivo.

The matchup, set for Jan. 31, 2026, pits a home side reeling from a heavy defeat against a visiting team desperate to turn recent draws into a victory.

Bellunesi (4-7-9) enters on the heels of a 5-0 road thrashing by Alcione Milano last Sunday. That loss snapped a brief positive run that included a 2-0 win at AlbinoLeffe and a 1-1 draw at Novara earlier this month. Their form at the Polisportivo has been inconsistent, with just one win in their last five home fixtures.

Virtus Verona (4-10-6) arrives after a 2-2 home draw with FC Pro Vercelli 1892 on Jan. 24. That result extended their winless streak to four matches (0-2-2), a run that includes losses to Inter Milan U23 and FC Arzignano Valchiampo. Their last victory came on Dec. 13, 2025, a 1-0 result at Alcione Milano. Defense has been a persistent issue, conceding multiple goals in three of their last four outings.

Recent history shows both clubs have struggled for consistency. Bellunesi’s victory over Inter Milan U23 in early December highlights their capability, but they have also suffered several heavy defeats. Virtus Verona has shown a knack for draws, with four in their last ten matches, but converting those into wins has proven difficult.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the most likely outcome is a 1-1 draw. This projection aligns with both teams’ recent patterns — Bellunesi’s fight at home and Virtus Verona’s tendency to share points.

Key for Bellunesi will be shoring up a defense that conceded nine goals in its last two games. For Virtus Verona, finding a cutting edge after scoring just four times in their last five matches is crucial.

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