Cremonese and Benevento have met many times and most of those games ended closely contested. Neither side has repeatedly beaten the other by a wide margin, but this time the two arrive with league positions fairly far apart. Benevento sit 5th while Cremonese are 16th, so this is a game where the home side want to use their own ground to collect points and move up. Cremonese won 2-0 in their latest match, but the overall season has not been good: 8 scored, 11 conceded from 9 games. Benevento, meanwhile, are unbeaten in 4 straight and clearly score more (14 goals), but their away form has not been explosive either, with many games finishing by narrow scorelines. This game is likely to be a cautious exchange of punches. Cremonese at home tend not to open up fully, while Benevento, though they pass the ball better, still lack a truly clinical finish from both sides. After kickoff, what to watch is how deep Cremonese sit and whether they let Benevento control the game.
