Avellino vs Potenza Prediction 09.10.2023

• Competition: Italy &— Serie B
• Date: Monday, 9th, October 2023
• Kickoff: 19:45 UTC +1 / 20.45 CEST
• Venue: Stadio Partenio (Avellino)

Avellino, determined to secure a playoff spot, will be eager to claim maximum points on Monday when they welcome Potenza to the Stadio Partenio for the seventh round of the Italian Serie B.

Avellino, once a reliable team in Italy’s top football league, has faced a turbulent past decade with two bankruptcies. In 2018, they were forced to leave professional Italian football, but quickly bounced back by winning Serie D. Despite failing to secure a spot in Serie B through two playoff attempts, the determined Campanian Wolves refuse to give up. This season, their goal is not only to surpass their 14th-place finish from the previous year but also to secure a place in the top eight. Currently in 12th place with seven points after six rounds, Pazienza’s squad is just three points away from the playoff zone.

Potenza, a club based in Basilicata, has big dreams of not only competing in the top Italian league but also making the jump to Serie B. Despite being a relatively new addition to the football scene, having formed in 2012 through the merger of Controsenso Potenza and Atella Monticchio, Potenza has been a member of Serie C since the 2018-19 season. Although they have come close to achieving historic promotion to the second division through playoffs on three occasions, they have unfortunately fallen short. However, their strong start to the current season suggests that they could once again finish in the top 10, currently sitting in seventh place with 10 points, just four points behind league leaders Juve Stabia.

Avellino vs Potenza Betting Tips: Avellino to Win

Avellino is determined to narrow the three-point gap and secure a spot in the playoff positions by defeating their opponents on Monday. Despite a difficult start to the season, the team has shown improvement with three wins in their last four matches, giving them a positive outlook for matchday seven of Serie C. Additionally, Avellino has impressed their fans with two consecutive dominant performances against Monopoli, winning 4-0 in the league and 3-0 in the Coppa Italia midweek match.

Riding the wave of these successes, there’s no doubt that Pazienza’s squad will be determined to deliver another impressive performance, and that too against none other than their regular customer. Indeed, Potenza is certainly one of their favorite opponents, as the green-and-white-clad lads have outplayed them in six consecutive encounters, including both from the previous season &— 2-0 at home and 4-2 away. Additionally, it’s worth noting that Rossoblu have been exceptionally poor on their travels this season, returning from each of their three away outings with heads hung low. Given the aforementioned factors and the home-field advantage, we are confident that Avellino has what it takes to reaffirm their superiority over Potenza.
