Avellino host Padova in Serie B. Both sides have had a fairly even start to the season, with results going both ways for each of them.
There's a gap of a month between now and kickoff, so this is a look at where both clubs stand today rather than a guaranteed picture of matchday form. Still, the early numbers give us a decent starting point.

A tight league table so far
Five games in, Padova and Avellino are locked together on seven points apiece, each with two wins, a draw and two defeats. Padova currently sit sixth and Avellino ninth, which shows the head-to-head record between points and position isn't always straightforward this early in a season.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | Ascoli | 5 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 7/4 | 10 |

| 10 | Cesena | 5 | 1 | 4 | 0 | 7/6 | 7 |
With goal difference and other details separating sides this close together, neither team can claim a clear edge in the table right now.
On paper this looks like two sides pretty much level with each other.

With both clubs sitting on seven points from five games and showing similarly mixed form, there isn't a strong case to lean one way based on what we've got here.
Given there's no market information to work with either, we're happy to sit this one out rather than force an angle that isn't really there.
