Cesena vs Avellino Prediction
Cesena vs Avellino: Both Teams To Score?
Preview
Alright boet, let's fire up the braai and break down this Serie B clash! Cesena sitting pretty in 4th place with 20 points, while Avellino lurking in 7th with 16. Both teams been scoring for fun lately, and that's where the value might be hiding.
Cesena's recent form shows they know where the goal is - netting 13 in their last 10 games. But here's the kicker, they've been leaking goals at the back too, conceding 12. Look at their recent games: 2-1 win over Carrarese, 2-1 win at Spezia, 2-1 win at Venezia, 2-1 win at Sampdoria. These boys like to entertain! Only managed one clean sheet in their last 10 matches - that's worse than my attempts at cooking vegetables!
Avellino ain't no pushovers either. They've been banging in 16 goals in their last 10 games, averaging 1.6 per game. Their recent matches have been goal fests - that 4-3 win over Reggiana was proper football! They've also kept just 2 clean sheets in their last 10, so both teams tend to find the net when they play.
The head-to-head tells us something interesting too - in 4 meetings, both teams have scored in 3 of them. Cesena might have the historical edge at home (won both home games), but Avellino's away form shows they're hard to beat on the road - 60% draw rate in their last 5 away trips.
Looking at the stats, Cesena concedes 1.20 goals per game, Avellino scores 1.60. Avellino concedes 1.70 per game, Cesena scores 1.30. The numbers are screaming goals from both sides! With Cesena's BTTS rate at 80% and Avellino's at 60%, this looks like a proper shootout waiting to happen.
The odds of 2.00 for both teams to score look pretty tasty considering both teams' recent form and defensive records. Sometimes you gotta back the stats, and these stats are pointing to goals galore!
