PREVIEW: Altamura Hosts Siracusa in Serie C Clash

ALTAMURA, Italy (Interstat) — Teams heading in opposite directions meet Sunday when Altamura hosts Siracusa in a Serie C fixture.

The match at Stadio Antonio D’Angelo comes with the visitors riding a wave of momentum and the home side seeking to halt a slide.

Siracusa (2-5-3 in last 10 league matches) enters with confidence after a dramatic 2-1 home victory over Picerno last Sunday, secured with a late goal. That result followed a 1-1 draw at Casarano and a commanding 4-0 home win over Casertana. Their form, however, has been inconsistent on the road, with just one win in their last five away fixtures.

Altamura (4-3-3 in last 10) looks to rebound from consecutive defeats. After a 2-1 loss at Catania on March 15, they fell 2-1 at Salernitana this past Monday. Prior to that, they had shown resilience, including a 1-0 home win over Foggia on March 5. Their home record is mixed, with three wins, one draw and two losses in their last six at the D’Angelo.

The head-to-head history suggests a tight contest. The teams played to a 1-1 draw in Siracusa last November.

A key tactical battle will unfold in midfield, where Siracusa’s recent goal-scoring form — netting multiple goals in three of their last five matches — will test an Altamura defense that has conceded two or more goals in three of its last six outings.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, Siracusa is projected to win 2-1.

For Siracusa, the match is a chance to build a winning streak before hosting Atalanta BC U23 on April 4. Altamura, looking to stabilize its campaign, has a longer break before its next match, a home fixture against Giugliano Calcio 1928 on April 12.

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time (1400 GMT) on Sunday, March 29.
