Catanzaro will be looking to bounce back from a frustrating 3-2 defeat to Bari as they kickstart their Serie B playoff campaign with a home game against Avellino. As Catanzaro have turned their Stadio Nicola Ceravolo into a real fortress, we predict a 2-1 home win. The Giallorossi have been involved in some of the most entertaining matches in the division, averaging 3.90 total goals per game across their last 10 outings. The hosts remain dangerous in attack with 2.00 goals scored per match, but defensively they continue to struggle, failing to keep a single clean sheet in that same period. Injuries are a concern ahead of this knockout clash, with key forwards Pietro Iemmello and Alphadjo Cisse both unavailable.
Avellino, meanwhile, are full of confidence after a narrow 1-0 victory over Modena, a result that extended their strong recent run. I Lupi have won six of their last 10 matches and boast an impressive defensive record, conceding just 0.90 goals per game overall. However, their away form is less convincing, with just two wins in their last five on the road and a drop in attacking output to 1.00 goal per game away from home. They also face a long injury list, with Favilli, Milani, Reale, Sala, and Simic all ruled out, significantly reducing squad depth.
Considering Catanzaro's strong home attacking numbers, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (Both sides are involved in consistently high-scoring matches).
This Serie B match will be played on Tuesday 12 May 2026 at 20:00.
