Benevento look forward to challenge Cagliari in this Serie B match. Everything you should know about the match is located here!

Insights:
  • Benevento have the fewest conceded goals in the first half (0) in Serie B

Cagliari have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Benevento form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Benevento's two home games in the Serie B so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Stadio Ciro Vigorito.

Benevento enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Venezia's place. The match ended 2-0 with Koutsoupias and Gumina scoring. Paleari, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 7.85 out of 10 in that game. Paleari topped it up with a clean sheet.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Frosinone in a game that was won 2-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Benevento perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Benevento as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Benevento has won 3 of these, drawn 3 and lost 1.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Benevento at home in the league. 2 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
