Virtus Entella - Avellino

Can Virtus Entella find their rhythm at Stadio Comunale di Chiavari on 27 October 2026 as they host Avellino for matchday 9? The hosts look to Giacomo Corona and Bernat Guiu to provide a spark after a narrow defeat to Mantova, while the expected XI relies on the defensive stability of Andrea Tiritiello and Francesco Mezzoni. Avellino arrive with a balanced setup featuring Raffaele Russo and Walid Cheddira in attack, aiming to recover from their own recent setback against Calcio Padova.

Both sides have experienced inconsistent spells, making this encounter critical for momentum in the Serie B table. Virtus Entella previously showed their attacking potential in a 4-1 win over Pisa, but they must now navigate a visiting side that recently dismantled Sampdoria 4-1. With Avellino winning the most recent league meeting in March, the tactical battle between the midfield units will be decisive in determining the outcome.
