Veteran club Vicenza has limited strength. They have played in Serie A multiple times and recently returned to Serie B. In the season before last, their performance was poor, and despite a mid-season coaching change, the situation did not improve. The team eventually lost in the playoffs and was relegated. Last season, they performed fairly well, reaching the promotion playoffs but failing to advance. They hired a new coach for the new season, aiming for promotion. They had a good start but went through a brief slump, leading to another coaching change. Ultimately, they successfully entered the playoffs, and player morale is good.

Avellino, a club with a long history, also has limited strength. They have been playing in the lower leagues for many years. Recently, they were relegated from Serie B and underwent a bankruptcy restructuring. In their first three years back in Serie C, they reached the playoffs each time. However, last season their performance declined, and they narrowly avoided relegation. This season, they aim for better results. After starting with two consecutive losses, their coach was dismissed, and they rebounded strongly, finishing second in their group. Now, they are on the brink of promotion, and team morale is high.

Vicenza previously had five wins in six matches against Avellino, but in their last four encounters, they have not won and were held scoreless three times.

The referee for this match is officiating an Avellino game for the first time this season, in which Avellino lost away.

Vicenza has the upper hand in all aspects. Having remained unbeaten in the first leg away, they are highly motivated back on home ground against the weaker Avellino. Naturally, Vicenza is slightly more attractive, with the initial odds being too favorable for the home team. Therefore, Avellino is expected to remain unbeaten in this match.
