This Serie B fixture sees a clear difference between the two sides. Benevento sit 5th with 14 points from 8 matches, while Catanzaro are 20th with just 4 points from the same number of games. The hosts need three points to stay in the upper group, while the visitors need something to stop their slide down the table. Benevento won 3-0 in their last match and are unbeaten in 3 straight. Their attack scores consistently, and their defence is not too leaky compared to rivals in the same positions. Catanzaro are the opposite: they lost 1-6 in their last match and are winless in 4 straight. They have conceded 20 goals in 8 matches, a figure that says the back line still has not found a way out. This game is likely to open with the hosts dominating possession, and if Benevento score first, Catanzaro, whose confidence is shaken, may open up and trade blows until it becomes a game with goals flowing at both ends. The first thing to watch is how quickly Benevento can press and score, because if the hosts lead early, the game will open up even more and tend to finish with a high score.
