It's advantage Benevento so far with their 1st position in the Serie B table, welcoming Chievo who are placed 9th.

It's no vacation for neither Benevento nor Chievo as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Benevento are already the Serie B winners and can relax with the season objective secured. If they do relax it might give the away team a slightly better chance in this one. Chievo are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
