Monza (home)
- Monza have won eight of their 11 home Serie B fixtures in 2025-2026 (D2, L1).
- Paolo Bianco’s men sit third in the table with 44 points from 22 matches and their momentum should continue on Sunday when they face 12th-placed Avellino (28 points from 22).
- Monza’s 3-5-2 system, which features a three-man defense and wing-backs, has served Bianco’s side well this season.
- Hernani has been the orchestrator of their progress in the middle of the park, both by controlling the tempo and making runs to support striker Agustin Alvarez.
- Agustin Alvarez has been their main goal threat, notching four times in 15 Serie B appearances.
- Monza have won three of their last five Serie B matches (D1, L1).
Avellino (away)
- Avellino have won only two of their 11 Serie B away fixtures in 2025-2026 (D4, L5).
- They have won two of their last five in Serie B (D1, L2) after beating Cesena 3-1 at home, and are winless in their last two on the road (D1, L1).
- Tommaso Biasci has been Avellino’s talisman this term with 10 Serie B goals in 20 appearances and five of his team’s last seven.
- In contrast to Monza, who have scored 1.73 goals per game and conceded 0.64 per game at the U-Power Stadium, Avellino concede an average of 1.55 goals per Serie B game away from home.
- Biancolino’s men have shipped 17 times in 11 away fixtures this term, so Biasci’s goals have become crucial to their survival.
