The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Fiorentina are in the 12th position while the guesting Benevento worry at 16th.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Fiorentina form and stats
Fiorentina have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Serie A. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.
Fiorentina haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 219 minutes ago. G. Castrovilli scored that one.
Fiorentina drew their last game, 0-0 away at Parma (placed 15th). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Roma (0-2).
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Fiorentina as they are travelling to their away game against Udinese in the Coppa Italia. That match is two days after this one.
Fiorentina have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Stadio Artemio Franchi with 5 goals in 3 league matches. Fiorentina have conceded 4 in these home matches.
Benevento form and stats
Benevento, who have the most conceded goals (20) in Serie A, are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Serie A, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses). With the Benevento losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Benevento has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Benevento's previous game was their home loss versus Spezia (0-3). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Hellas Verona wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
The Benevento manager F. Inzaghi has got the team scoring on the road, with 6 away goals in 3 league matches. There are big problems for the Benevento defense as they have conceded 10 goals in 3 away games.
Head 2 Head
Last two meetings between the teams: Fiorentina won two, Benevento won zero and zero draws. one game with over 2,5 goals, one match with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
