VERONA, Italy (Interstat) — Two Serie C Group A sides trending in opposite directions will meet Saturday when Virtus Verona hosts AS Giana Erminio at the Centro Sportivo Gavagnin.

The match, scheduled for Feb. 7, 2026, pits a struggling Virtus Verona side against a Giana Erminio team seeking to rebound from a recent setback.

The visitors arrive following a 2-0 home defeat to Union Brescia on Monday, which snapped a promising run of form. Prior to that loss, Giana Erminio had won three of its previous four league matches, including a 4-0 road victory at Aurora Pro Patria and a 2-1 win over FC Arzignano Valchiampo. Their recent results reveal a capable attack, but also defensive vulnerability, having conceded multiple goals in three of their last eight outings.

Virtus Verona’s struggles are more pronounced. The club has managed just one win in its last 10 matches across all competitions, a 1-0 victory over Alcione Milano in mid-December. Their most recent result was a 1-0 away loss to SSD Dolomiti Bellunesi on Jan. 31. Offensive production has been a significant issue; Virtus Verona has been shut out in five of those last ten games and has scored more than one goal only once since October.

The historical data and current form have influenced projections. Interstat’s game simulator predicts a narrow 1-0 victory for the visiting side, underscoring Giana Erminio’s slightly more consistent threat and Virtus Verona’s scoring difficulties.

For Giana Erminio, the match represents a chance to immediately return to winning ways and solidify a push up the table. For Virtus Verona, the contest is an opportunity to find a crucial spark and improve upon a home record that has seen them earn just one point from their last three matches at the Centro Sportivo Gavagnin.

Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. local time (1300 GMT).
