A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Benevento fans are optimistic that the difference between 1st and Juve Stabia's 15th place in the table will show on the pitch.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Benevento and Juve Stabia.
Benevento's stadium, Stadio Ciro Vigorito, has a grass surface. Juve Stabia have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Juve Stabia when playing on grass; 15 wins, 17 draws and 10 losses from 42 matches. They have scored 52 goals in these games and conceded 42.
Benevento form and stats
Benevento, who have the most scored goals (55) in Serie B, have been very solid at home in the Serie B so far, with 39 points collected from 15 matches (12-3-0). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table. Benevento has a nice streak going on as they have played 21 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Pescara defeat 247 days ago. There’s a good atmosphere here at Stadio Ciro Vigorito after three straight home wins.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipo not having conceded a league goal in 270 minutes.
Benevento drew their last game, 0-0 away at Empoli (placed 10th). In the game before, an away victory match versus Cremonese with a 1-0 scoreline.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Benevento as they are travelling to their away game against Crotone in the Serie B. That match is four days after this one.
The Benevento manager F. Inzaghi has got the team scoring with 34 from 15 home games in the league. As for guarding their own goal, Benevento have only let in 6 goals at home.
Juve Stabia form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Juve Stabia so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-8 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Stabia's last three away games as they have all been lost.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie B home defeat versus Livorno with 2-3 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Stabia manager F. Caserta faced defeat when travelling to Pescara and losing 1-3.
Late heartbreak for Stabia in the Livorno match, as the deciding 2-3 goal came deep into overtime.
The schedule is very tough for Stabia now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie B game at Salernitana is waiting in only four days.
The visitors have scored 13 goals from 14 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Juve Stabia have conceded 25 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
