Arezzo host Benevento in Serie B.
Both clubs have had a bit of a mixed start to the campaign, sitting in the lower half of an early table.
The last time these two met, back in May, it was a promotion play-off final that Benevento edged 1-0. That was a different competition and a different context altogether, so it doesn't tell us a great deal about how this one will go.

How each side has played in the league
Arezzo's last five in Serie B have been up and down: they won away at Empoli, then lost at home to Sudtirol, were beaten 5-0 away at Verona, lost at home to Palermo, and picked up a win away at Avellino. Thirteen goals conceded in those five games points to a defence that's had a rough time of it.
Arezzo: 20 completed matches; Benevento: 20 completed matches.

Benevento's recent league form has cooled off a touch. They won away at Carrarese and beat Verona at home, but they've since lost away to Ascoli, drawn with Sudtirol, and lost at home to Modena. That's two defeats in their last three.
Neither team arrives with any real momentum to lean on.
Comparative Team Statistics: Arezzo vs Benevento

One meeting, different context
The only recorded meeting between these two came in May, in the Serie C Supercoppa Lega Finals, when Benevento won 1-0 at home. Both clubs have since moved up to Serie B, so that result belongs to a different level and a different set of circumstances.

Early-season Serie B table
Benevento sit seventh with seven points from their first five games, having won two, drawn one and lost two.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | Padova | 5 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 5/6 | 7 |
| 7 | Benevento | 5 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 6/5 | 7 |
| 8 | Hellas Verona | 5 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 10/7 | 7 |

| 12 | Arezzo | 5 | 2 | 0 | 3 | 6/13 | 6 |
| 13 | Empoli | 5 | 2 | 0 | 3 | 4/6 | 6 |
Arezzo are just below in twelfth, on six points from five, with two wins and three defeats. There's not much separating them at this stage, and it's still early enough that the table can shift quickly.
A handful of results either way could reshuffle both sides' positions.
Cards worth watching
A couple of Benevento players have been picking up bookings regularly: Kouan has three yellows in his last four appearances, and Prisco has two in the same span. On the other side, Arezzo's Illanes has been sent off once in his last four outings.
None of this confirms who's actually available for this specific fixture, given how far off it still is, but it's a pattern worth keeping an eye on as the sides build discipline records.

What kind of game this could be
Arezzo have leaked goals at a fair rate this season, conceding thirteen in five league games against six scored. Benevento's numbers are tighter, six for and five against, but their recent slip in results shows they're not exactly flying either.
Put together, there's a case for goals at both ends, but nothing in the numbers points clearly to one side dominating.

Both teams have shown enough good and bad in equal measure that picking a clear direction here feels forced. Arezzo's defensive numbers are a concern, but Benevento's recent dip takes some shine off their earlier good form.
Without a market to weigh up and with the fixture still a month away, this is one we're happy to leave alone for now.
