Benevento form and stats

Benevento's results here at Stadio Ciro Vigorito in the Serie B have been very modest with 2 victories, 3 draws and 7 defeats. It's trouble wherever Benevento are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

The followers are hoping that Benevento will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the game against Cagliari (placed 9th).

Preceding that match was the home game against Venezia that was lost 1-2.

Low-scoring affair? In this club's last 10 league matches, 8 have had less than three goals (under 2.5).

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Benevento here at Stadio Ciro Vigorito in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (9 from 12 games). Benevento's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 16 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. Benevento has at home met teams with this table position (low), three times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.

Brescia form and stats

There's been little loot from Brescia's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 11 away games in the Serie B. Brescia only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 3 draws. It's looking increasingly bleak for Brescia who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Palermo was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Brescia have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 342 minutes ago. Rodríguez was the goal scorer.

Brescia might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Modena proved too strong as Brescia slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Mario Rigamonti. Attacker Bianchi got a player rating of 7.05 in the game. "Man of the match" Bianchi dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

A 0-4 defeat away at Perugia before that.

A tale of few goals? 12 of this club's latest 15 league rounds have had two goals or less.

The attacking power of Brescia when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 11 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.
