Cesena vs Avellino Match preview

Italian Serie B: Cesena vs Avellino

Cesena are half way to relegation with slim chance to avoid it after convincing defeat in Frosinone which they deserved. Romagnoli are last at the moment, with 27 points which is five behind the play-out. In other words this means that Cesena not only must win Avellino but also finally take a point or two away in the last three games. With this kind of play it will be mission impossible. Irpini won Pisa in the game where the rivals gave up before the start and now Avellino are two points ahead of Treviso with a game in hand. They can hope to avoid automatic relegation but they will still end up in the play-out unless they win all the matches till the end.

Cesena won only four games

This speaks enough of this squad. They drew even 11 times at Manuzzi and if you add to it terrible play and only four points away it is clear why they ended up so low. This summer we mentioned the possibility for them to get on the wrong end of the standings. They were careless in the transfer window after selling best players and after that it was too late. Castori and Vavassori switched on the bench but the coach is not the biggest problem. Cesena don’t have the quality or luck with injuries. Based on what we saw in Frosinone, they seem as if they have accepted relegation.

Avellino are pathetic away

This is typical for the wolves, they took eight points away and won only in Ravenna. This squad was patched up practically on the closing of transfer window whish is why they have several good players on some positions while they don’t have solutions for some. Calori who replaced Carboni is showing more courage but as soon as some of the key players is absent, problems occur. Avellino often lose points in stoppage time so this will again be their problem since Cesena aren't prone to attacking so they will again ait for their chance.

Betting Verdict

Irpini are not the squad capable of playing two games in a row in same tempo. They will clearly try to defense and eventually shake the opposite net through counterattacks. We have the feeling that Cesena will play better than usual, teams like Avellino suit them when they play at Manuzzi. Odds for Cesena to win are 2.80 which is worth of a small risk.

Team news : Campedelli arelady finished season for Cesena, coach Castori will change some players in defence. Porcari and Cherubinare out, Salgado is doubtful for Avellino.
