CALTANISSETTA, Italy (Interstat) — Nissa hosts Gelbison Cilento on Sunday, May 10, in a Serie D match that pits two of the division’s hottest teams against each other.

Nissa (10-1-1 in its last 12 matches) enters the weekend after a 4-1 rout of Paterno on May 3. That result extended a run that has seen the home side lose just once since mid-February, with victories over Acireale, Gela Calcio and Palermo in that span. The only blemish in Nissa’s recent form was a 1-1 draw at Sambiase on April 26.

Gelbison Cilento carries a six-match winning streak into Sunday, most recently defeating Gela Calcio 1-0 on May 3. The visitors have not lost since a 2-1 defeat to Nissa on Sept. 21, 2025 — the only head-to-head meeting between the clubs this season before January’s scoreless draw. Since that Sept. 21 loss, Gelbison has gone 10-2-1 across all competition, conceding just four goals in its last six victories.

The teams met most recently on Jan. 18, a 0-0 stalemate in which Nissa had the better of possession but could not break through. In the previous matchup on Sept. 21, Nissa won 2-1 at Gelbison, with goals from an unlisted scorer.

Gelbison’s recent run includes a 4-0 demolition of Vibonese on Feb. 22 and a 2-1 win over Palermo on April 2. The club has allowed only three goals in its last six matches, while scoring 10. Key to that defensive solidity has been a back line that has kept five clean sheets since March.

Nissa, meanwhile, has been prolific in attack, scoring 19 goals over its last seven matches — a stretch that includes a 5-1 win over Sancataldese on March 29 and a 3-0 victory over Palermo on March 22. The home side has not been shut out in any match since a 0-0 draw with Acireale on April 12.

The Interstat game simulator projects a 1-1 draw. That would match the result of the Jan. 18 meeting between the two sides and would continue a trend of close contests: three of the last four head-to-head matches have been decided by one goal or ended in a tie.

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time at Nissa’s home ground. Both teams are vying for position in the crowded Serie D standings, where every point carries weight in the promotion race.
