Carpi desperately need points on Saturday, Dec 5 at 2:30 PM in the Serie C – Group A. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Desenzano come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Carpi travel struggling badly (0W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Desenzano won their last outing, while Carpi suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Desenzano a slight edge, but Carpi are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
