Avellino - LR Vicenza
Avellino look to bounce back against high-flying LR Vicenza
Avellino are searching for an immediate response after a difficult start to the campaign left them reeling. The hosts welcome LR Vicenza to Stadio Partenio-Adriano Lombardi on 29 August 2026 for this Serie B matchday 2 encounter, aiming to overcome the disappointment of their recent loss to S.S. Arezzo. The expected XI, led by Daniel Fila and Raffaele Russo, must find more defensive stability after conceding five goals across their last two competitive outings.
LR Vicenza arrive with momentum following a 3-2 victory against Catanzaro that showcased their attacking intent. The visitors, featuring Filippo Alessio and Gabriele Moncini in the expected starting lineup, hold a positive recent history against their hosts, having edged out a two-legged promotion playoff tie against them in June 2024. With Avellino desperate to secure their first points of the season, this meeting promises to be a testing examination of both sides' early form.
