Pescara (home)
- Pescara are desperate for points in their bid to pull out of Serie B’s drop zone before the winter break and AC Reggiana 1919 are looking to hold onto their mid-table position and keep their playoff hopes alive when they clash at Stadio Adriatico this Saturday.
- Pescara are winless in their last six league games and have taken just two points during that run, leaving them in the relegation zone with only 10 points from 15 rounds.
- Pescara have been in poor form throughout 2025-2026, but Giorgio Gorgone has done well to keep them afloat since taking over in November, restoring some shape and confidence to a side that was in meltdown after a terrible start to the campaign.
Reggiana (away)
- Reggiana have won two, drawn two and lost two of their last six games, and have shown the character and resilience to keep themselves in contests against solid sides like Mantova, who they beat 1-0.
- Reggiana sit comfortably in mid-table with around 20 points after 15 rounds.
- Davide Dionigi has worked wonders at Reggiana since taking over in March 2025, installing a solid, compact back three and counter-attacking identity that has made his men very difficult to beat.
Head-to-Head
- Pescara and AC Reggiana 1919 have recorded four wins apiece and a single draw in their last nine head-to-heads in all competitions.
- Pescara beat Reggiana 3-0 in their most recent clash.
Pescara
- Antonio Di Nardo is Pescara’s top scorer, while Giacomo Olzer has chipped in with goals and assists, but Pescara need another scorer to come good.
- Pescara are an honest, pragmatic side that will always be set up to be solid, usually in a 3-5-2 system that is as flexible as they are.
- They are solid at the back when things go well and rely heavily on the pace of their wing-backs to get them into the final third.
Reggiana
- Matteo Portanova has been a creative spark in midfield and is one of the Granata’s top scorers.
- Efe Tavşan and Antonio Novakovich add attacking punch with several goals this season.
- Tobias Reinhart and Marco Marras give Reggiana some energy in the centre of the park and can contribute with goals and assists.
- Charlys is likely suspended for Reggiana after a recent red card, while Pescara continue to juggle injuries and a stretched squad.
Betting Insights
- A clash between a desperate, direct Pescara and a regimented, counter-attacking Reggiana should be a fascinating watch, but we cannot see either side letting the other get out of hand.
- Set pieces will probably decide the game, so we’ll side with Reggiana, who have the extra quality in their team, to just edge this one.
- Odds of 2.52 for Reggiana to secure an away win are certainly appealing given the 2.78 price on Pescara and a 3.18 draw.
- The Under 2.5 goals line at 1.75 also reflects the likely cagey nature of this clash.
Prediction
- A low-scoring draw, either 0-0 or 1-1, is our preferred correct score bet.
- For smaller stakes, Reggiana’s narrow win is the pick of the two given their extra quality and organisation.
