CAVA DE’ TIRRENI, Italy (Interstat) — Cavese will host Picerno on Saturday in Serie C action, with the home side looking to build on an uneven run and the visitors aiming to carry their recent scoring form into a difficult road match.

Picerno enters the game with a 6-6 record across all competitions. Its most recent result was a 3-0 home win over Salernitana, powered by goals from Andrea Gemignani, Francesco Rillo and Samuel Pugliese. Gemignani played 90 minutes and scored in that match. He also played 90 minutes in a 1-2 loss to Cosenza. Gemignani is the player to watch for Picerno. Pugliese also received a yellow card in the Salernitana win. Rillo played 84 minutes and scored.

Picerno’s other results this season include a 1-0 loss at Barletta, a 2-1 loss at Cosenza, a 4-2 loss at Potenza, a 2-1 win over Audace Cerignola, a 1-0 loss at Altamura, a 4-2 loss to Catania, a 1-0 loss at Sorrento, a 4-1 win over Inter U23 and a 2-0 win at Scafatese. The visitors have shown the ability to score in bunches, but they have also conceded heavily in several matches.

Cavese is 3-2-1 across all competitions. It most recently lost 1-0 at Foggia. Earlier results include a 5-2 home win over Casarano, a 1-1 draw at Barletta, a 2-0 home win over Casertana, a 4-2 home win over Savoia and a 4-2 loss at Potenza. Cavese has been productive at home, where it has scored multiple goals in several matches, and will try to use that home advantage against Picerno.

The match is part of a busy Serie C schedule for both sides. Picerno’s upcoming slate includes matches against Bari, Casarano, Giugliano, Crotone, Foggia and Casertana. Cavese’s schedule includes Altamura, Monopoli, Scafatese, Catania, Inter U23, Potenza and Catania again later in the campaign. Those fixtures could influence how both teams manage the match, though the focus will be on the points available Saturday. Both teams will return to Serie C play after this match, with the schedule offering little rest.

Cavese will rely on its home setting and recent scoring bursts, while Picerno will look to Gemignani and a supporting attack that produced three goals in its last outing. The visitors’ record shows both wins and losses in equal measure, and Cavese’s campaign has included a draw along with its wins and defeats.
