Vicenza Virtus have had a shakier time of it. They beat Catanzaro at home to open this run, but have since lost to Avellino, drawn with Virtus Entella and Juve Stabia, and lost again away at Hellas Verona. Just one win in five games tells its own story.

Benevento look the sturdier of the two right now, though both records are still small samples.

Comparative Team Statistics: Benevento vs Vicenza Virtus

Past meetings

The clubs met in Serie C last season, when Benevento won 4-1 away at Vicenza - a big scoreline for the visitors that day. Their older Serie B meetings stretch back to 2022 and earlier, with Benevento winning twice and the other two finishing level.

None of that older history tells us much about either squad as they are now, but the most recent result did go clearly Benevento's way.

Recent history slightly favours Benevento, though it's a thin sample and circumstances have changed since those games.

Where they sit

Benevento are seventh in Serie B with seven points from five games, having won two, drawn one and lost two. Vicenza Virtus are down in sixteenth with five points from the same number of matches, winning once, drawing twice and losing twice.

It's still early in the campaign, but the gap between the two sides is already visible in the table.

Players to watch and cards

Vicenza's clearest attacking outlet this season has been Merkaj, with two goals in five appearances, while Caferri has chipped in with two assists.

Benevento:

Penalty cards:

A. Prisco x 1 x 2

C. Kouan x 3

Vicenza Virtus:

Best scorers:

S. Merkaj - 2

On the other side, Benevento's Kouan and Prisco have both picked up bookings regularly - three and two yellow cards respectively in four games - though there's nothing here to suggest either will miss out through suspension.

What kind of game to expect

Goals have flowed at both ends recently for Vicenza. They've shipped ten in their five Serie B games while scoring seven themselves, which suggests matches that don't stay quiet for long when they're involved.

Benevento's numbers are tighter - six for, five against - hinting at a touch more control, especially coming into this one on the back of two straight wins.

If those trends hold, this doesn't look like a fixture set up for a low-scoring stalemate.
