After the first round it's Genoa - Benevento 3-0 in points. Who will achieve victory in this second Serie B fixture of the season?

Genoa form and stats

In the previous season, Genoa's league statistics were 4 wins, 16 draws and 18 losses, providing 19th spot in the Serie A. From these 38 matches they scored 27 goals and let in 60. Appearing as the host team in the last season Genoa generated 3-8-8 (win-draw-lost) with 14 goals and 25 conceded.

Genoa enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Venezia's place. The match ended 2-1 with Yeboah and Portanova scoring. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Blessin when Yeboah scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 72nd minute. Midfield player Portanova got a match rating of 7.7 in that game, the max score being 10. Portanova scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Genoa handle that role? We have found 7 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat.

Benevento form and stats

Let's have a look at how Benevento performed last season in the Serie B: They landed a 7th position in the league table after playing out 18 victories, 9 draws and 11 defeats. In total they scored 62 and conceded 39 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 8 - drew 5 and lost 6 with 24/19 goals scored/conceded.

The attacking players of Benevento have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 185 minutes.

Benevento have a lot to play for after their out-of-character defeat (0-1) to Cosenza in their previous outing, played at their own home ground. Midfielder Acampora was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.91. Acampora hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 47 successful passes (of 54 total).

We have checked recent matches where Benevento have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 11 games were 0 victories, 5 draws and 6 defeats.
