SESTRI LEVANTE, Italy (Interstat) — Sestri Levante hosts Sanremese on Sunday, May 3, in a Serie D matchup that could have playoff implications in the Italian fourth-division campaign.

The teams meet at Stadio Comunale with Sestri Levante holding a 68.50 percent probability of victory according to Interstat’s ELO system. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 final score in favor of the home side.

Sestri Levante enters the match coming off a 1-0 loss at Celle Varazze on April 26. That result extended a two-game losing streak after a 2-1 defeat at Asti and a 2-0 loss at AS Biellese 1902. Prior to that skid, Sestri Levante had posted an impressive 5-2 home win over Nova Romentin on April 2, and a 2-1 victory at Chisola Calcio on March 29. The team’s overall form has been uneven: six wins, three draws and four losses in its last 13 matches across all competitions.

Sanremese comes in on a positive note, having defeated Club Milano 1-0 at home on April 26. That victory snapped a two-game winless run — a 2-2 draw at Imperia and a 2-1 loss to Derthona. Sanremese’s longer-term form shows resilience: before the Derthona loss, the team had won four of five matches, including a 1-0 result at Saluzzo, a scoreless draw at Varese, and a 3-2 win at Nova Romentin. Sanremese has collected seven wins, two draws and three losses in its last 12 fixtures.

The head-to-head record favors Sestri Levante. In their most recent meeting Dec. 21, 2025, Sestri Levante won 2-1 at Sanremese. That result marked the only encounter between the two sides in the past several seasons.

Key players to watch for Sestri Levante include the attacking unit that produced five goals in the April 2 rout of Nova Romentin. Sanremese’s defense has been stingy, keeping clean sheets in four of its last seven matches — including shutouts against Club Milano, Varese, Cairese 1919 and Chisola Calcio.

Sunday’s match kicks off at 3 p.m. local time. Both teams are vying for position in the league table as the season enters its final stretch. Sestri Levante will look to snap its losing streak and regain momentum on home ground, while Sanremese aims to build on its latest victory and improve its away form.
