On Wednesday afternoon, Avellino hosts Catania in Group C of Serie C, with both teams chasing promotion this season.
Avellino could need just one more win to seal their place in the promotion play-offs, as they are currently 13 points clear of 11th place Monterosi with just six league games remaining this season.

Their recent form has been inconsistent in Serie C, but they have lost just one of their last six league matches. Last time out, Messina held them to a 1-1 home draw.
The game followed a familiar low-scoring trend in Serie C for Avellino, as eight of their last nine league games have produced under 2.5 goals.
Avellino has a solid recent home record in Serie C, as they have lost just one of their last 16 home matches in the league.
However, they have taken just a point from their last two home games, following a defeat against Palermo and that draw against Messina.
Catania are still in contention for the play-off spot, but the visitors are three points outside the top ten in the table. A recent inconsistent run of form has hampered the visitor’s promotion bid, as they have won just two of their last five matches in Serie C.
However, a 5-1 mauling at Foggia last time out ended a three-game unbeaten run in Serie C for Francesco Baldini’s team.
The loss at Foggia was the third league game in their last four that had produced over 2.5 goals.
Catania have been inconsistent on their travels in the league this season, although the loss at Foggia did end a six-match unbeaten run away from home for the visitors, and a three-match away winning streak in Serie C too.
Forebet predicts that this game will produce a low-scoring draw, which would certainly suit the home team more than the visitors when it comes to their promotion hopes.
