Anzio vs Monastir - Serie D - Girone G

When Anzio and Monastir clash at the home ground on September 16, 2026, the stakes extend well beyond a single result — this is a Serie D - Girone G fixture that carries real weight for both clubs. Enzo Maresca and Rico Lewis held a pre-match press conference on Saturday as Manchester City prepare to face Atletico Madrid in their third pre-season friendly of the summer.

The standings paint a clear picture: Anzio in 15th, Monastir in 1st, and both keen to climb. Anzio are still searching for momentum, LD in their last five and a season win rate of just 0%. On the road, Monastir have been equally impressive — WW in their last five and a win rate of 100% for the campaign. Where Anzio have leaned on defensive discipline, Monastir have often taken the initiative going forward, and that stylistic difference should shape the contest.

Stylistically, this is a compelling matchup. Anzio favour a patient, possession-based approach, whereas Monastir are at their most dangerous when allowed to hit quickly on the counter. Tuesday's print edition of ABC, as relayed by Sport Witness, have claimed that Betis turned down a €50m approach from a wealthy non-Premier League club for Antony.

Individual moments of quality could tip the balance. Both sides possess players capable of producing something out of nothing, and a single flash of brilliance may be all that separates them. Set-piece specialists and aerial threats on both sides mean dead-ball situations could carry outsized importance. Juve are said to be keen on adding another forward, despite nearing a deal for Randal Kolo Muani from PSG.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. The numbers tilt towards Monastir, and a 0-4 away win looks the more probable outcome. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose. It is understood that his next move is most likely to take him abroad - and potentially to the Premier League.
