Empoli 1-0 Avellino result, stats and report

Avellino put Vicenza to the sword with three goals in a ruthless home performance, with Andrea Favilli pulling the strings and the visitors failing to convert despite dominating possession.

Avellino took all three points at Modena with a Michele Besaggio goal in the eighth minute, and Modena never showed enough desire or threat to drag themselves back into it.

Empoli won 1-0 at Carrarese thanks to a Bogdan Popov header on 74 minutes, a result that flatters the visitors given Carrarese controlled large portions of the match but failed to convert their superiority into goals.

Mantova led through Edoardo Saporiti's header but Empoli scored three times in the final half-hour to claim a 3-1 away victory in a match that turned completely on its head after the break.

Modena have been genuinely difficult to beat at home this season, but Empoli travel to the Stadio Braglia having already won their opening Serie B fixture and carrying the confidence of a side with nothing to fear on the road.

Ascoli head into matchday two of the 2026/27 Serie B season carrying three points and a clear structure, while Avellino arrive with a deeply concerning away record and a momentum slope that is pointing in the wrong direction.

Avellino have been a different proposition at home this season, but Palermo carry the quality and the structure of a side with promotion ambitions. Sunday's fixture at the Stadio Partenio-Adriano Lombardi has the makings of a genuinely instructive early-season encounter.

Empoli have been a different team at home this season, but Arezzo come to Tuscany on Friday having already shown they can score and win on the road. This is a sharper fixture than the division table currently suggests.
