Tenth-placed Avellino seek to climb the early Serie B table as they welcome a sixth-placed Pisa side currently riding a five-match unbeaten run.
Avellino sit 10th with 12 points after the opening nine rounds of the 38-game season. Raffaele Bianco's side salvaged a late 1-1 draw away at Virtus Entella last weekend, following a narrow 1-0 home defeat against Padova and a 1-1 draw at Cesena. With just one defeat in their last three outings, the hosts are steadily finding their rhythm on home turf.
Pisa have made a positive start, sitting 6th on 15 points after nine matches. The Tuscan outfit played out an entertaining 3-3 draw at home to Palermo last time out, which followed a 1-1 draw at Hellas Verona and consecutive victories against Cremonese (3-1) and Vicenza Virtus (3-0). They enter this trip undefeated in their last five league fixtures.
