This could be an interesting match as Perugia have their presumed home advantage while Benevento are ahead 30 points in the Serie B table.

It's no vacation for neither Perugia nor Benevento 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.

Perugia form and stats

The story so far in the Serie B for Perugia at their home stadium (Stadio Renato Curi) is 6 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Perugia with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Juve Stabia game, 30 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Perugia, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Perugia are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 379 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by P. Iemmello).

Perugia faced defeat in their previous match, away at Pisa (0-1). Preceding that match was the home game against Empoli that was lost 0-1.

Guglielmo Vicario had a busy but productive day in the Pisa match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Perugia as they have a new game in only four days, a Serie B match thankfully also at home. Salernitana are visiting.

Perugia are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 13 games. On the other hand, Perugia have conceded 13 goals.

In general it has been a productive period now for Benevento as they haven't lost any of their last 17 games. Benevento are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played seven in a row without losing.

The supporters enjoyed Benevento's previous game versus Spezia (placed 4th), a Serie B 3-1 win played at home. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Virtus Entella at their stadium, the result 4-0.
