Avellino - Calcio Padova

Avellino aim to build on their recent unbeaten run as they return to Stadio Partenio-Adriano Lombardi for this matchday 8 Serie B clash on 24 October 2026. After a dominant 4-1 victory over Sampdoria and a hard-fought draw against Cesena, the hosts will look to the attacking threat of Walid Cheddira and Raffaele Russo to break down a vulnerable visiting defence. The expected XI for Avellino features a balanced setup, with Armando Izzo anchoring the back line to provide stability against a desperate opponent.

Calcio Padova arrive in search of a revival following consecutive home defeats against Virtus Entella and Carrarese. Kevin Lasagna and Gabriele Artistico are expected to lead the line as the visitors attempt to rectify a difficult start to their campaign. History suggests a tight affair, with the sides having shared points in their previous Serie B meeting in September 2025.
