Stats for this game

Matchup Empoli VS Avellino

Avellino supply an early challenge

Avellino beat Empoli 3-2 at home on 30 September 2017, providing the first clear response in this pairing. Empoli answered with a 1-1 draw at home on 27 February 2018, a result that denied Avellino another complete advantage and showed how quickly the margin could narrow.

Empoli strengthen the balance

Empoli won 3-0 away at Avellino on 22 November 2025, then followed with a 1-0 home victory on 1 May 2026. Those results give Empoli a stronger line across both venues, with one emphatic margin and one tightly managed win. Avellino’s 2017 success remains important, but it no longer supplies the sole direction of the comparison. The home setting has not guaranteed a single direction.

A clear edge with room for reply

Future meetings will ask whether Empoli can sustain their cross-venue advantage, or whether Avellino can reproduce the home response that opened the matchup. The evidence favours Empoli while leaving resistance credible.
