AREZZO, Italy (Interstat) — A pivotal Serie C clash with playoff implications is set for Sunday when SS Arezzo hosts regional rival US Livorno 1915 at the Stadio Città di Arezzo.

The match, scheduled for April 12, 2026, is a quick turnaround for both sides following disappointing results last weekend. Arezzo looks to rebound from a 1-0 away loss to US Sambenedettese on April 4. Livorno, despite a strong 3-0 home victory over AS Gubbio on April 3, has struggled for consistency on the road.

The visitors hold a psychological edge from the most recent head-to-head meeting, a 2-1 Livorno home win on Dec. 6, 2025. However, their form away from home has been poor. Livorno’s last three road trips in the league resulted in two losses and a draw, having been outscored 7-1 in defeats to Torres Calcio and Ravenna FC in March.

Arezzo’s home form has been mixed, with a 4-0 rout of AC Bra on March 20 followed by a 2-1 loss to Ascoli on March 30. Their overall defensive solidity at home has been a feature, with clean sheets in three of their last five home fixtures.

Livorno manager will hope the confidence from the comprehensive Gubbio win translates into a rare positive away performance. Arezzo will aim to leverage home support and tighten up after the Sambenedettese defeat.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the data favors the hosts, projecting a 2-0 victory for Arezzo. The result could significantly impact the mid-table standings as the season enters its final weeks.

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