An important duel in the bottom section of the Serie A, with both Benevento and Genoa experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 18th place.
- Benevento haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
- Genoa is in the worst form (0-2-4)
Genoa could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Serie A game only four sleeps ago.
Benevento form and stats
Benevento's struggle is real here at Stadio Ciro Vigorito with only 5 points collected from 6 Serie A games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-3. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
The spoils were shared in Benevento's previous game, also at home. Visiting Lazio (placed 9th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. Prior to that, an away loss at Sassuolo.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Benevento have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found one match with the results: Won zero, drawn zero and lost one.
The manager F. Inzaghi will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Udinese in only three days.
The Benevento fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 6 matches. Benevento are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (12 from 6 played).
Genoa form and stats
0 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Genoa, who have the fewest scored goals (2) away in Serie A, playing as the away team in the Serie A this season. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Genoa, who have now gone eleven games without a victory. The Crotone game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
Genoa played 2-2 against Milan in their previous match. A 1-3 loss hosting Juventus before that.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Genoa in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Genoa, four draws and four defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Genoa manager R. Maran as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Spezia.
Goals are few and far between in Genoa's away league games. Only 2 goals from 5 travels. Genoa's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 9 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last two meetings between these two teams are: one win for Benevento, zero draws and one win for Genoa. Over 2,5 goals: zero times; under 2,5 goals: two games.Top Goalscorers
