Licata vs Nissa - Serie D - Girone I

The Serie D - Girone I returns to the home ground on September 13, 2026, where Licata and Nissa will lock horns in a contest that could shape their respective campaigns. Tottenham face Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday.

There is plenty riding on this Serie D - Girone I encounter for Licata and Nissa alike, and neither will want to leave the home ground empty-handed. Consistency has eluded Licata in recent weeks, with WD in their last five and a win rate of 25% that tells of an up-and-down campaign. On their travels the visitors have been workmanlike, LW in their last five and a win rate of 50% to show for it. The contrast in attacking output — 0.75 versus 2 goals per game — adds an extra layer of intrigue. A young right-back is another position City are interested in adding in, while, in terms of outgoings, goalkeeper James Trafford is close to joining Leeds so will need to be replaced.

Stylistically, this is a compelling matchup. Licata favour a patient, possession-based approach, whereas Nissa are at their most dangerous when allowed to hit quickly on the counter. Andoni Iraola could not have been clearer about how he plans to change Liverpool when speaking in his opening press conference.

In fixtures as finely poised as this one, it often comes down to who holds their nerve in the big moments — and both camps have players who relish that responsibility. The battle in midfield, where both sides look to control tempo, could prove the decisive arena. They plan to open talks with PSG forward Bradley Barcola, but it will be a difficult deal to do with the French and European champions valuing him at around £145m.

Without the market to lean on, the contest feels genuinely open — and the outcome may come down to which side handles the occasion better. The signals point towards a stalemate, with the two sides closely matched across form and standings. A 2-2 draw is easy to envisage. The ramifications of this result could ripple through the Serie D - Girone I standings for weeks to come, regardless of who comes out on top. The team currently most likely to win the 2026 WNBA Finals according to Opta.
