VERONA, Italy (Interstat) — Virtus Verona will host Alcione Milano SS on Sunday in a Serie C matchup with both clubs seeking momentum as the Italian third division’s season enters its final stages.

The game, scheduled for April 19, 2026, is a rematch of a December encounter won by Virtus Verona 1-0. That result gives the home side a slight psychological edge in the head-to-head series.

Virtus Verona (2-8-5 in its last 15 matches) enters following a 2-2 road draw with US Pergolettese on April 11. Form has been inconsistent for the club, which has managed just two victories in its last 15 outings. Its defense has been vulnerable, conceding multiple goals in several recent matches, including a 5-0 loss to Triestina on March 28. Finding stability at the back will be a priority.

Alcione Milano SS (5-5-5 in its last 15 matches) looks to rebound from a 2-0 home defeat to Calcio Lecco on April 10. Prior to that, its form was more resilient, losing only once in the previous seven matches. Key results include a 5-0 rout of Dolomiti Bellunesi in January and a 1-0 victory over Vicenza in February, demonstrating a higher ceiling for offensive production compared to its upcoming opponent.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, Alcione Milano SS is projected to secure a narrow 1-0 victory, suggesting a tight, defensively oriented contest. This aligns with Alcione’s recent pattern of low-scoring games and Virtus Verona’s struggles to find consistent goal-scoring form.

The matchup pits Alcione’s slightly more potent attack against a Virtus Verona side desperate for points and a return to winning ways at home. With playoff positioning or avoiding relegation potentially at stake for many Serie C clubs this late in the campaign, the intensity at the Stadio Gavagnin is expected to be high.

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