The visitors are W7-D5-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Serie B.

Benevento have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Alberto Paleari. It's been 185 minutes since they last conceded in Serie B.

The followers enjoyed Benevento's previous match versus Vicenza (placed 17th), a 1-0 win played at home. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Caserta when Viviani scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 59th minute. Midfield player Acampora was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.12/10. Acampora hit the woodwork once, served one assist, hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 38 successful passes (of 43 total).

Before that one, a nice away victory 3-0 at Reggina.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Benevento manager Caserta as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Pordenone.

Benevento have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 16 league away games 20 goals have been scored. Benevento are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 14 times in 16 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
