Avellino and Palermo prepare for tactical showdown at Stadio Partenio-Adriano Lombardi
The tactical battle at the Stadio Partenio-Adriano Lombardi this Sunday hinges on whether Avellino can disrupt Palermo’s fluid attacking structure on a synthetic surface. With kick-off moved to 17:15 local time due to heat concerns, both sides will need to carefully manage their energy levels throughout this Serie B encounter.
Avellino are expected to deploy a structured defensive unit led by Armando Izzo and Lorenco Simic, aiming to stifle Palermo’s creative midfield. In the middle of the park, the trio of Michele Besaggio, Martin Palumbo, and Luca Di Maggio will be tasked with disrupting the rhythm of their opponents while looking to transition quickly toward forwards Andrea Favilli and Raffaele Russo.
Palermo arrive with a more expansive approach, likely utilizing a midfield anchored by Filippo Ranocchia and Jacopo Segre. With Gabriel Strefezza and Dennis Toerset Johnsen pushing forward from wide areas to support Joel Pohjanpalo, the visitors will look to exploit any gaps left by the Avellino defence. The inclusion of Mattia Perin in goal provides a steady presence for a backline that has shown recent resilience.
For Palermo, Joel Pohjanpalo remains the focal point of their offensive efforts, having demonstrated a clinical edge in recent outings. He is supported by the creative ingenuity of Dennis Toerset Johnsen, who has been a consistent threat in the final third throughout their current run of matches.
Avellino will rely on the work rate of their forward pairing to pressure the Palermo defenders. If Andrea Favilli and Raffaele Russo can hold up the ball effectively, it will allow their midfielders to join the attack and test a Palermo side that has been in high-scoring form recently.
Both managers appear to have largely settled squads, though Palermo will be without Jesse Joronen due to injury. The expected XI for Avellino sees Tommaso Martinelli starting in goal behind a defensive line of Brando Moruzzi, Filippo Missori, Patrick Enrici, Lorenco Simic, and Armando Izzo.
Palermo’s expected XI features Mattia Perin in goal, with a defensive quartet of Tommaso Augello, Pietro Ceccaroni, Mattia Bani, and Niccolo Pierozzi. The midfield and attacking duties are expected to be shared by Filippo Ranocchia, Jacopo Segre, Hernani, Gabriel Strefezza, Dennis Toerset Johnsen, and Joel Pohjanpalo.
Avellino enters the match following a solid 1-0 victory against Modena on 6 September, a result that followed a comprehensive 3-0 win over LR Vicenza in late August. These performances suggest they have regained their composure after a difficult start to the campaign.
Palermo arrives in excellent form, coming off a 3-1 win against Sampdoria on 7 September and a high-scoring 5-2 Coppa Italia victory over Mantova. Recent history between the two clubs has been competitive, with Palermo securing a 2-0 win in their most recent meeting on 5 April, while their previous encounter in December 2025 ended in a 2-2 draw.
