POTENZA, Italy (Interstat) — A crucial Serie C fixture sees Potenza Calcio host Salernitana on Saturday, with both sides seeking consistency in their promotion pursuits.

The match at Stadio Alfredo Viviani is a rematch of a 1-1 draw from November. The simulation from Interstat projects a 2-1 home victory this time.

Salernitana (4-5-5) arrives after a mixed run of form. They earned a 2-1 win over Team Altamura on March 23 but fell 1-0 to Roma in a separate fixture two days prior. Their recent league form has been plagued by a lack of goals, being shut out in four of their last six Serie C contests, including a 1-0 loss to Audace Cerignola on Feb. 6 and a 1-0 defeat at Casertana on March 5.

Potenza Calcio (5-6-3) looks to rebound from a 2-1 defeat at Trapani on March 22. Their form at home has been stronger, with a 3-0 win over Team Altamura on Feb. 15 and a 2-0 victory against Casertana on Jan. 18 highlighting their capability. However, defensive stability has been an issue, conceding two or more goals in three of their last five matches across all competitions.

Historically, this matchup offers little separation. Beyond their draw earlier this season, both teams have struggled to find a decisive edge in recent campaigns.

For Salernitana, the schedule shows a quick turnaround with a Serie A fixture against Udinese also listed for Saturday, suggesting squad rotation may be a factor. They face Benevento in Serie C on April 6.

Potenza Calcio’s next Serie C match is at Casarano on April 6.

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time (1400 GMT).
