LEGNAGO, Italy (Interstat) — A crucial Serie C clash with playoff implications awaits Sunday as Calcio Lecco 1912 hosts Virtus Verona at the Stadio Rigamonti-Ceppi.

The match, scheduled for Feb. 15, 2026, pits a home side finding consistent form against a visiting squad mired in a significant scoring drought. The teams last played to a 2-2 draw in Verona on Oct. 4, 2025.

Lecco (11-6-8) enters with momentum from a midweek 1-0 road victory over AS Giana Erminio on Feb. 11. That result showcased the defensive resilience that has defined their season, bouncing back from a 2-0 home loss to Pro Vercelli just three days prior. Their home form has been a cornerstone, with a 4-1 away win at Dolomiti Bellunesi in January highlighting their attacking capability.

In stark contrast, Virtus Verona (6-9-10) is in a dire stretch, winless in their last five matches and having failed to score in four consecutive games. Their most recent outing was a 1-0 home defeat to Giana Erminio on Feb. 7, part of a brutal run where they have been shut out by Inter Milan U23, Arzignano, Dolomiti Bellunesi, and Giana Erminio. Their last goal came in a 2-2 draw with Pro Vercelli on Jan. 24.

The statistical outlook favors the hosts. Interstat’s game simulator projects a narrow 1-0 victory for Lecco, a scoreline that aligns with both teams’ recent patterns. Lecco has repeatedly grinded out low-scoring wins, while Verona’s impotent attack has left them vulnerable.

Key for Lecco will be exploiting Verona’s recent fragility. For Verona, breaking a scoring drought exceeding 360 minutes is the absolute priority to have any chance of taking points on the road.

With the Serie C promotion playoff race intensifying, Lecco aims to solidify its standing, while Virtus Verona desperately seeks a spark to reverse a slide that has seen them collect just two points from a possible 15 since mid-January. The pressure rests squarely on the visitors’ attack to finally deliver.
