Livorno form and stats

Benevento form and stats

Benevento have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipo. It's been 332 minutes since they last conceded in Serie B.

Benevento are travelling after their nice 5-0 home win in the Serie B against Trapani (placed 19th). Prior to that result Benevento won their away game at Venezia. The scoreline was 2-0.

As mentioned above, Benevento was the only team on the pitch versus Trapani in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task. It's hard not to mention N. Viola's lethal finishing against Trapani. 3 goals was a big reason for the three points.
