Modena - Avellino
Modena and Avellino meet at Stadio Alberto Braglia
Can Modena maintain their clinical momentum as they host Avellino at Stadio Alberto Braglia on 6 September 2026 for this Serie B matchday 3 clash? Modena enter the fixture with confidence following a dominant 3-0 victory over Cremonese and a narrow 2-1 win against Benevento. The expected XI, featuring the attacking duo of Giuseppe Caso and Giuseppe Ambrosino, will look to dictate the tempo through a midfield anchored by Gaston Brugman and Alessandro Bianco. Defensively, the side remains focused on stability, with Leandro Chichizola expected to start in goal behind a disciplined back four.
Avellino arrive seeking consistency after a resounding 3-0 win against LR Vicenza helped steady their form following an earlier loss to S.S. Arezzo. The visitors are expected to rely on the forward pairing of Andrea Favilli and Raffaele Russo to test the Modena defense. With Armando Izzo marshalling the back line, Avellino will aim to disrupt the rhythm of their hosts in a contest that often proves tight, as evidenced by the 1-1 draws between these two sides in recent seasons. Both teams will be eager to secure points early in the campaign.
