Benevento form and stats

With 3 Serie B wins, 3 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Benevento are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Alberto Paleari not having conceded a league goal in 194 minutes.

An away draw last time out for Benevento, facing Ascoli in a game that ended 0-0. Midfielder Acampora was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.61 (out of ten) in that game. Acampora hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 18 successful passes (of 21 total).

Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Brescia.

This is expected to be a close game, with Benevento perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Benevento as a small favourite), we find 11 games. Benevento has won 3 of these, drawn 4 and lost 4.

Not much happening? In this team's last 12 league games, 10 have had less than three goals (under 2.5).

The manager Stellone will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Ternana in only four days.

Benevento aren't scoring a lot here at Stadio Ciro Vigorito in the league, with only {10 goals} from 13 games. On the other hand, Benevento have conceded 16 goals.
