Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Benevento in 10th and Atalanta in 7th place.
- Benevento haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
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 Benevento and Atalanta.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Atalanta, who are travelling more than 800 kilometers to play this game.
Benevento form and stats
Benevento's struggle is real here at Stadio Ciro Vigorito with only 8 points collected from 8 Serie A games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-2-4.
A strong away win for Benevento against Cagliari the last match, as Alessandro Tuia and Marco Sau were on target. Preceding that match was a defeat to Milan (0-2).
The Benevento fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 8 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
Atalanta form and stats
The visitors are W3-D3-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A. It's three draws from Atalanta's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.
Impressive finishing from Duván Zapata, Luis Muriel and Robin Gosens secured the home win 3-0 against Parma in their previous game. A home win before that, celebrating 5-1 vs Sassuolo.
Atalanta have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 14 goals from 7 away matches. Atalanta's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 11 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last two meetings: zero - zero - two (Benevento wins - draws - Atalanta wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.Top Goalscorers
