Venue: Stadio Polisportivo Provinciale (7148 seats)

Struggling Trapani will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Benevento in the upcoming league round. It’s 18th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Trapani and Benevento.

These teams have little in common geographically as Benevento have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Happy, happy days for Benevento who are already winners of the Serie B. This could affect their motivation.

Trapani form and stats

5-6-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for Trapani, who have the most conceded goals (56) in Serie B, so far this season. Two home wins in a row for Trapani bring valid hopes of a third.

An away draw last time out for Trapani, facing Chievo in a game that ended 1-1. Before that, Trapani had a home game versus Livorno which ended with a victory 2-1.

Trapani's goalie Marco Carnesecchi played a big part in securing a draw after 90 minutes against Chievo with a stunning seven saves. Filip Piszczek was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Chievo after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Trapani as they are travelling to their away game against Pisa in the Serie B. That match is four days after this one.

The Trapani fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 22 in 16 matches. Trapani have conceded 20 in these home matches.

Benevento form and stats

Benevento, who have the most scored goals (57) in Serie B, have an excellent away record in the Serie B so far with 10-4-2 from 16 games.

Benevento's last game was the home draw against Venezia (1-1). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Crotone wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

After this away game Benevento return home for a Serie B game against Livorno. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Benevento are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 21 away goals from 16 games (in the league). It's not easy to score on Benevento as they have only conceded 12 goals from these away games.
