Virtus Entella (home)
- ACD Virtus Entella welcome Avellino to the Stadio Comunale di Chiavari, on Tuesday, in what promises to be a scrappy Serie B contest.
- Virtus Entella are unbeaten in five games (W2, D3) in all competitions, and arrive here on the back of a small streak.
- His 3-5-2 system, which often plays through the wing-backs, has produced some good results, but the side are still a little shaky at home in Serie B 2026/2027 (W0, D2, L1).
Avellino (away)
- Avellino have won one, drawn one and lost one of their three Serie B 2026/2027 away games this season, so they aren't a dominant team on the road.
- Avellino will make life tough for Entella, as Alessandro Nesta's 4-3-1-2/4-3-2-1 system looks to dominate the center of the pitch and dictate the game.
Head-to-Head
- Both teams arrive in decent form, but Virtus are winless in their last two home meetings with Avellino, who will feel mentally confident for this fixture.
- I Lupi have also won two of the last three meetings between the sides, drawing the other, which means they should at least avoid defeat in this spot.
Key Players
- Andrea Franzoni, who has scored one goal in five Serie B 2026/2027 appearances, will need to be on form for Entella to grab the three points on Tuesday, as the team lacks a true focal point in the front two.
- Avellino's best player, Raffaele Russo, who has three goals in the same number of games, has been a sharp blade in attack, but Nesta's side have been conceding at a rate of 1.33 per game away from home.
- His men will patiently build up from the back and will press with conviction when they don't have the ball, setting up a classic chess match with Chiappella's 3-5-2.
Betting Insights
- The hosts are the slight favorites at 2.05, but Avellino are a fair price at 3.57 and the draw at 3.25 is a touch low, so we will avoid the moneyline for this one and focus on other angles.
- Virtus are averaging 1.33 goals per game at home in Serie B 2026/2027, but have also conceded 1.67, a combination which implies open, end-to-end games.
- I Biancocelesti are 10th in Serie B 2026/2027 after taking nine points from seven games, while I Lupi are a little bit better off in 7th with 11 points from the same amount of games.
