BELLUNO, Italy (Interstat) — SSD Dolomiti Bellunesi hosts Aurora Pro Patria 1919 on Monday in a Serie C fixture, with the home side looking to capitalize on its opponent’s prolonged struggles.

The match at Stadio Comunale di Belluno is scheduled for April 13, 2026.

Bellunesi (8-12-10) enters after a 1-1 road draw with AS Giana Erminio on April 6. Their form has been inconsistent, mixing resilient results like a 2-1 win at Inter Milano U23 with heavy defeats, including a 5-0 loss to Alcione Milano in January. They sit mid-table, largely clear of immediate relegation concerns.

Aurora Pro Patria (6-10-14) is mired in a deep slump, winless in its last five outings (0-3-2). It also drew 1-1 at home against US Triestina on April 6, preceding losses to Pergolettese and a 4-1 defeat to Calcio Lecco. Its defense has been a particular issue, conceding 18 goals over this winless stretch. The club is dangerously close to the relegation zone.

A statistical projection from Interstat forecasts a 2-1 victory for the hosts.

Historically, Pro Patria’s away record is poor, with just one win in its last ten road matches across all competitions. Bellunesi, while erratic at home, has shown a capacity for explosive offense, evidenced by a 4-1 win over Ospitaletto in March.

The matchup pits Bellunesi’s sporadic attack against Pro Patria’s leaky defense. Pro Patria manager Francesco Parravicini will demand a more disciplined defensive performance to snap the skid. Bellunesi’s Marco Moscati will look to midfield orchestrator Manuel Marras to unlock a vulnerable back line.

With the season’s final stretch underway, the stakes differ. Bellunesi aims to build momentum for next season, while Pro Patria desperately needs points to avoid a drop into Serie D. Pressure will weigh heaviest on the visitors, whose confidence appears fragile after months of disappointing results.

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time (1300 GMT).
