Benevento vs Catanzaro

Match Preview

Benevento were slight favourites away from home against Arezzo last weekend and fully justified that status, gradually increasing the intensity to secure a convincing 3-0 victory.

They grew stronger as the game progressed, taking the lead early in the second half before switching back to counterattacks. Benevento looked more stable, experienced and, above all, more clinical in attack. Goalkeeper Sylla, midfielder Talia (1/0) and forward Schimmenti (2/0) are unavailable for the hosts.

Catanzaro took an early lead at home against Ascoli, only to suffer one of the most humiliating defeats in their recent history. They lost 1-6 in front of their own fans last Saturday afternoon.

They were completely outplayed from the first minute to the last, allowing Ascoli to create an enormous number of clear chances. The visitors will be without midfielders Pogacar and Giovane (4/0), as well as forwards Loubao and Pecorino (6/1).

Benevento have looked strong and in good form recently, so it is difficult to look past them in this match. Catanzaro have shown very little so far this season, especially away from home. After their latest collapse, an immediate improvement looks unlikely.
