Cremonese have had a tougher time, winning just one of their last five, with two draws and two defeats. They've scored five and conceded seven across that run, including a home defeat to Modena and a draw against Virtus Entella.

Benevento's recent edge in both results and goal difference gives them a slight head start on current form.

Comparative Team Statistics: Cremonese vs Benevento

What history tells us (and what it doesn't)

These two have met six times in Serie B, the most recent back in 2022, and two of those games ended in draws. Benevento have won three of the remaining four, including a 2-0 home win in 2019, with Cremonese's only win in this set coming by the same scoreline that same year.

There's been no meeting between them since 2022, so this history says little about where either side stands going into the current season.

Serie B table check

With five league games played, Benevento sit seventh on seven points, while Cremonese are down in fifteenth with five points. It's still a small sample, so the table could shift quickly either way, but right now Benevento have the better points return.

Players to keep an eye on

Cremonese's Federico Bonazzoli has scored three goals in five appearances this season, making him their main source of goals so far. For Benevento, Cristian Kouan and Alessandro Prisco have picked up the most yellow cards in the squad, which hints at a side that's had to work hard defensively and in midfield battles this season.

How this one could play out

Both sides have conceded regularly in their recent league matches, and neither has kept things especially tight at the back. With Benevento carrying a bit more attacking confidence from their current run and Cremonese still searching for consistency at home, goals at both ends wouldn't be a surprise.
