Napoli could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Europa League game only three sleeps ago.

Benevento form and stats

Only two Serie A home games for Benevento so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

Benevento lost their last game at Roma (placed 8th) after a 2-5 scoreline. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Bologna in a game that was won 1-0.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Gianluca Lapadula for missing a penalty kick versus Roma in the 55th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Empoli are coming to town in three days.

Benevento has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 5 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Napoli form and stats

Things could have gone better for Napoli in their Serie A away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

Home advantage was not enough for Napoli in their previous game, as they lost their Europa League-match, hosting AZ Alkmaar, 0-1. Before that, Napoli secured a home win against Atalanta with the score 4-1.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Europa League trip to Real Sociedad.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Napoli has managed 2 goals and let in 3 from 2 matches.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last three meetings: one - zero - two (Benevento wins - draws - Napoli wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.
