FORLI, Italy (Interstat) — Ternana looks to solidify its promotion credentials Monday when it hosts struggling FC Forli in a Serie C fixture at Stadio Libero Liberati.

The match, scheduled for Feb. 23, 2026, is a rematch of a 1-1 draw on Oct. 11, 2025, in Forli. The visitors arrive seeking their first win of the calendar year.

Ternana (10-6-8) enters with momentum from a comprehensive 3-0 road victory over Pineto Calcio on Feb. 16. That result highlighted the team’s attacking potential and followed a 2-2 draw at Pontedera. Form has been inconsistent, however, with a shutout loss to Ascoli and a scoreless draw with Pianese in recent weeks. Overall, Ternana has proven tough to beat, suffering only two losses in its last 10 league matches.

FC Forli (4-9-11) is mired in a prolonged slump, winless in its last seven outings across all competitions. Its most recent result was a 1-1 home draw with Vis Pesaro on Feb. 8. The club’s defense has been a particular concern, conceding two or more goals in five of those seven winless matches, including a 3-0 defeat to Ascoli and a 3-2 loss to Campobasso. Its last victory came on Oct. 17, 2025, a 2-0 win over Torres.

Statistical models heavily favor the hosts. Interstat’s ELO rating system gives Ternana a 92.30% probability to win. The organization’s game simulator projects a 2-1 final score in Ternana’s favor.

The matchup pits Ternana’s recent offensive output — seven goals in its last four matches — against a Forli side that has kept just one clean sheet since late October. Forli will need to find stability at the back to have any chance of disrupting Ternana’s push up the Serie C table.

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