Benevento and Cesena meet in Serie B with both on 7 points from 5 matches, sitting 9th and 7th in the table. This game is therefore a measure of which team can climb into the upper group first. Benevento just lost 1-2 in their latest match, but before that they put together back-to-back league wins. Their attack has something about it, while the defence still shows lapses at times. Cesena, meanwhile, are unbeaten in their last five, drawing as many as four, playing each one tight to the end. Their defence is solid enough but they struggle to close out games. The picture from the last 10 matches shows Benevento with more possession (52.9% vs 47.4%) and more shots on target (5.56 per game vs 3.9), while Cesena concede more shots on target than they create. This game therefore leans toward Benevento attacking more and having more scoring chances. The first thing to watch after kickoff is how quickly Benevento can turn possession into chances.
