Insights:

  • Pordenone have the fewest scored goals (12) in Serie B

It's no vacation for neither Benevento nor Pordenone 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.

Pordenone 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.
