Struggling Sides Collide as Vis Pesaro Hosts FC Forli in Serie C

VIS PESARO, Italy (Interstat) — Two clubs mired in poor form will seek a crucial turnaround when Vis Pesaro 1898 hosts FC Forli in a Serie C matchup on Sunday, Feb. 8, 2026.

The game at the Stadio Tonino Benelli pits mid-table sides desperate to halt recent slides. According to Interstat’s game simulator, the home side holds the advantage, projecting a 2-0 victory for Vis Pesaro.

Vis Pesaro (8-6-8) enters having failed to score in its last two outings, including a 3-0 home defeat to SS Arezzo on Jan. 16. Prior to that, it fell 2-0 to Pineto Calcio on Jan. 3. The club’s last win was a 2-0 road victory over US Sambenedettese on Dec. 20, 2025.

The visiting Biancorossi of Forli (5-7-10) are in a deeper tailspin, winless in their last five league matches and without a goal in their last two. Forli is coming off a 2-0 home loss to US Sambenedettese on Jan. 18. Its last positive result was a 1-1 draw with Ternana on Oct. 11, 2025, followed by a 2-0 win over Torres Calcio on Oct. 17. Since then, the team has managed just two draws against seven losses.

Recent history shows both defenses have been vulnerable. Forli has conceded two or more goals in six of its last eight games. Vis Pesaro, while more resilient at times, has seen its defense breached for three goals in two of its last three contests.

The matchup represents a chance for either club to steady its season. Vis Pesaro will look to its home pitch, where it earned a 1-0 win over Ravenna FC on Dec. 15, to provide a spark. Forli, languishing near the relegation zone, is in urgent need of points to reverse a concerning trend that has seen it drop to 17th in the 20-team league table.

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