VALENZANA, Italy (Interstat) — Valenzana hosts Chisola Calcio on Sunday in a Serie D matchup that carries playoff implications for both sides.

The game is scheduled for 3 p.m. local time at Stadio Comunale. Valenzana enters on the heels of a 4-0 loss at Cairese 1919 on April 26, a defeat that snapped a two-match winning streak. Before that, the home side defeated Lavagnese 2-0 on April 19 and drew 1-1 with Gozzano on April 12.

Overall, Valenzana has won five of its past 10 matches, with two draws and three losses. The team has shown resilience at home, taking victories against Varese (2-1 on April 2), Ligorna (1-0 on March 29) and Club Milano (3-1 on March 1). However, heavy defeats (Interstat) — 6-1 to Vado on March 22 and the April 26 result (Interstat) — have underscored defensive vulnerabilities.

Chisola Calcio arrives after a 4-2 win over Lavagnese on April 26, a result that ended a four-match winless streak. Prior to that, the visitors lost 3-2 at Gozzano on April 19, drew 0-0 with Ligorna on April 12 and fell 2-1 at Vado on April 2. Chisola’s form has been inconsistent: three wins, two draws and five losses in its last 10 outings.

The lone head-to-head meeting this season came Dec. 21, when Chisola beat Valenzana 1-0 at home. That result gives the visitors a slight psychological edge, but Valenzana will look to reverse that outcome on its own ground.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, Valenzana is projected to win 2-1. The algorithm’s ELO system gives the home side a 61.9% probability of victory.

Both teams are fighting for position in the lower half of the Serie D table. A win could move either side closer to mid-table safety or a potential playoff berth, depending on other results.
