Benevento form and stats

Benevento have played three Serie B home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

Koutsoupias was the last player to score a league goal for Benevento and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Benevento haven't scored in 193 minutes.

In their previous game, the manager Cannavaro led his Benevento to a defeat away at Brescia. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Ciro Vigorito. The defeat against Brescia was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored three minutes into stoppage time (by Bianchi). Acampora (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.33/10. Acampora hit two key passes.

Ascoli form and stats

Ascoli are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Serie B, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).

Ascoli might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match.

Büchel hit one key pass.

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Perugia's place.

3 goals so far away for Ascoli, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.
