Sambenedettese face Ostia Mare on Friday, Dec 18 at 8:30 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the Serie C – Group B, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Sambenedettese come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5). Ostia Mare, meanwhile, arrive struggling badly (1W 4L in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Sambenedettese win or a draw looks most likely.
