Serie B: Two participants in pretty good form get together for this match. Benevento could have a slight upper hand with their 6th position in the standings?
- Perugia is in the best form (4-1-1) in Serie B
- Benevento haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Perugia and Benevento.
Perugia form and stats
When playing at home in the Serie B, Perugia have managed 4 wins, 5 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 12 games.
A strong away win for Perugia against Alessandria the last match, as Olivieri and Falzerano were on target. Midfield player Falzerano got a match rating of 8.02 in that game, the max score being 10. Falzerano scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Cremonese.This is expected to be a close game, with Perugia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Perugia as a small favourite), we find seven games. Perugia has won two of these, drawn three and lost two.
The manager Alvini will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Brescia in only three days.
Perugia are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 12 games. From these home matches, Perugia have conceded only 10 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
