Serie C girone C, the long-distance duel between leading Juve Stabia and Benevento continues: the Vespas must watch out for Sorrento. News and predictions.
In the last round Benevento nibbled more points off the leader Juve Stabia, which is now starting to feel the breath on the Giallorossi’s neck. The Vespas after 4 consecutive victories fell by surprise in Foggia (2-1) and now the margin over the Stregoni is six points when there are still six days left to the end of the regular season.
Guido Pagliuca’s team, so far the dominator of this round – albeit with some setbacks – at the weekend will be engaged in the derby with Sorrento, which will be staged on the neutral of Potenza. The Rossoneri already have salvation in their pockets and can really aspire to a place in the playoffs. The gap with Juve Stabia is obviously wide but being a very heartfelt derby we assume a hard-fought match, along the lines of the first leg, when in Castellammare Sorrento managed to snatch a point. And also this time the total goals should be less than three. The pursuer Benevento, on the other hand, absolutely cannot make a mistake against a struggling team like Monopoli. The Apulians have not lost in over a month, but it is also true that they have won only once in the last 10 days and remain in the playout zone. An even longer positive streak that of the Samnites, unbeaten in 2024: a victory of their own seems to be within reach.
The predictions on the other matches
Ready to take advantage of a possible Benevento misstep as well Avellino, hunting for their eighth consecutive useful result on the Giugliano field. The Lupi d’Irpinia, third at -4 from the Stregoni, on the road, however, are struggling: away from home, in fact, they haven’t won for a month and a half and could encounter not a few difficulties against the yellow-blue Tigers, who last Saturday put Benevento itself in trouble, forced to come back in the second half.
Ringold from success over Juve Stabia, Mirko Cudini’s Foggia is aiming to peel off a playoff pass at the end of a troubled regular season. Messina, fresh off two draws with Benevento and Latina, can also hope for the postseason. The Sicilians should no longer be sucked into the fight for salvation and could have their say in this finale: we predict a match of at least one goal on each side. On the other hand, those who will almost certainly play the playout are Virtus Francavilla and Monterosi, ready to face each other in a thrilling direct clash that shouldn’t offer too many emotions.
