Avellino
- Avellino sit 4th in Serie B 2026/2027 with 6 points from 3 games, while Palermo are 7th with 6 points from 2 matches and have a game in hand on the early pack.
- Avellino's Serie B 2026/2027 home record is W1, L1, scoring 2.00 goals per game at home and conceding 1.00.
- Nesta has Avellino set up as a 4-3-1-2 or 4-3-2-1 which is possession-first, but they have a trequartista who can unlock the game and a system which allows them to press high when the trigger is pulled.
- Avellino have hit a rich patch of form in their last 3 Serie B 2026/2027 games, winning 2 and losing 1, but the most recent defeat was at home to Arezzo and that was a wobble.
Palermo
- Palermo's Serie B 2026/2027 away record is W1 from 1, conceding 2.00 goals per away game.
- Filippo Inzaghi's men are a camaleontic 4-2-3-1 side who can build from the back, be very compact in midfield and strike quickly on transition with some pace up top.
- Rosanero have won 4 of their last 5 games in all competitions, including 4 consecutive victories.
- Palermo will look to exploit I Lupi's high press while Avellino will try to control the ball and play a series of combinations.
