Lazio form and stats

Lazio have performed here at Stadio Olimpico this season with 9 wins from 14 Serie A matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 3. Lazio has won so many consecutive home games (eight in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Stadio Olimpico. We remember; it was Hellas Verona. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Lazio has won four games in a row. The Juventus match was the last time out without a victory.

A strong away win for Lazio against Hellas Verona the last match, as Sergej Milinković-Savić were on target. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Spezia in a game that was won 2-1.

Some amazing scenes last match, when Sergej Milinković-Savić scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time.

The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Lazio home games with this odds we find seven games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in six wins, one draw and zero defeats. Looking at the victories, four matches were won by at least two goals.

The manager S. Inzaghi will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Napoli in only four days.

Lazio have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Stadio Olimpico with 23 goals in 14 league matches. Lazio's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 17 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Benevento form and stats

The visitors are W5-D3-L6 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A.

Benevento failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie A home match vs Sassuolo (placed 8th) that ended with defeat 0-1. Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Parma.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Benevento played away with similar odds. This revealed two games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, zero were draws and the home team won as expected two times.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Benevento manager F. Inzaghi as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Genoa.

Benevento have scored 15 goals on their travels this season, from 14 away games in the league. Benevento have conceded 24 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Benevento - Lazio 1-1. Numbers for the last five meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Lazio, two draws and zero wins for Benevento. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
