Avellino
- Avellino meanwhile are in 13th spot with 28 points from 23 matches, and they come into this fixture after a 2-1 away defeat to Monza, and a 0-0 home draw with Frosinone.
- When it comes to set pieces, Avellino are highly organised and well rehearsed, and in Tommaso Biasci, who has 11 Serie B goals in 21 appearances this season, they have a talisman up front to finish off a good passing sequence.
- The hosts have won five, drawn three and lost three of their 11 home games in Serie B, and they average 1.55 goals scored and 1.64 conceded per match at the Stadio Partenio.
Pescara
- Giorgio Gorgone took over the Pescara coaching job back in November and since then he has been working tirelessly to implement a pragmatic, albeit risk-averse system upon the Delfini, a system that keeps it tight, and is built to contain, circulate the ball, and be disciplined during transitions.
- Pescara have lost both of their last two games, 2-0 away to Cesena and 0-2 away to relegation rivals Catanzaro, the results leaving the club bottom of Serie B in 20th with 15 points from 24 games.
- Pescara’s away form is a disaster story, they are winless in 11 on the road in Serie B (D4, L7) and they have conceded a whopping 2.45 goals per game on their travels, shipping 27 goals in total.
- Antonio Di Nardo leads the line for the bottom-side with just five Serie B goals in 24 matches.
Head-to-Head
- Avellino are unbeaten in two matches against Pescara in Serie B (W1, D1).
- Pescara are winless in their last five Serie B matches (D1, L4).

Betting Insights
Avellino are the bookies’ favourites here at 2.08 , which is fair enough, and Pescara are outsiders at 3.35 , which also makes sense considering the home-side is unbeaten in their last two against the Delphini.
Prediction
We’ll take Avellino to avoid defeat here, and possibly nick the win considering Pescara’s away form , but a low-scoring match seems likely, so the under 2.5 goals option is an appealing alternative.
