Venue: Stadio Partenio-Adriano Lombardi (10125 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the Serie C: Girone C, with both Avellino and Picerno experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 16th place.

It's no vacation for neither Avellino nor Picerno as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Picerno have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 15-10-16 (win-draw-loss) from 41 matches.
