Benevento, Italy (Interstat) -- A pivotal Serie C clash is set for Monday as Benevento hosts regional rival Cavese 1919 at the Stadio Ciro Vigorito, with both sides looking to build momentum for the final stretch of the season.

The match, scheduled for April 13, 2026, is a rematch of a tight December encounter, which Benevento won 1-0 on the road. That result gives the home side a slight psychological edge in the head-to-head.

Benevento enters with confidence following a 1-0 away victory over Salernitana on April 6. Their form has been strong since late January, with just one loss in their last ten league matches (6-3-1). They have shown particular potency at home earlier in the season, including a 3-0 win over Casarano in January.

Cavese 1919, however, arrives seeking consistency. Their recent form has been mixed, with a 1-1 draw against Atalanta BC U23 on April 8 preceded by a 1-0 home loss to Casertana. Their record shows a team capable of results, having beaten Foggia and Audace Cerignola in February, but prone to being shut out, as in recent losses to Casertana and Crotone.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the contest is projected to end in a 1-1 draw. This forecast underscores the competitive balance expected in a matchup where Cavese will be desperate to avenge their earlier loss and Benevento aims to solidify its standing.

The fixture holds added importance as a rare Monday afternoon outing in Italy’s third division. For Cavese, it begins a tough two-game stretch before hosting Cosenza on April 26. Benevento will look to capitalize at home before traveling to face Giugliano Calcio 1928 the following Sunday.

Kickoff is set for 8:45 p.m. local time (1845 GMT).
