PESCARA, Italy (Interstat) — Pescara hosts Juve Stabia on Saturday, April 25, in a Serie B clash at Stadio Adriatico, with both teams seeking consistency after recent draws. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. local time.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 result, reflecting the teams’ recent head-to-head form. In their last meeting Jan. 10, they played to a 2-2 draw at Juve Stabia.

Juve Stabia (visiting)

Juve Stabia enters with a 1-1 draw against Catanzaro on April 18, extending a mixed run. Over their last 10 matches, they have two wins, four draws and four defeats, including a 3-0 loss at Venezia and a 3-1 victory over Spezia. Scoring has been inconsistent, but they showed resilience in a 2-2 draw at Palermo.

Manager Guido Pagliuca will seek a more organized defensive effort after conceding multiple goals in three of the last five fixtures. Their next match is May 1 at home against Frosinone.

Pescara (home)

Pescara played to a 2-2 draw at Carrarese on April 19, their second consecutive stalemate. The team has two wins, four draws and four defeats in its last 10, including a 4-3 loss to Empoli and a 4-0 win over Bari.

Manager Silvio Baldini will rely on home form, where they earned three of four points in March against Sudtirol (0-0) and Virtus Entella (3-0). Their next fixture is May 1 at Padova.

Key matchup

The Jan. 10 match saw both defenses struggle, with goals from Juve Stabia’s forward duo and Pescara’s midfield. Saturday’s rematch places pressure on both backlines to avoid early mistakes, as the season enters its decisive stretch.

A win for either side would provide valuable momentum, while a draw—as the simulator predicts—would keep both clubs mid-table with eight games remaining.
