Benevento and Hellas Verona clash in Serie B showdown
Benevento and Hellas Verona meet at the Stadio Ciro Vigorito this Friday for matchday 4 of the Serie B season. Both sides enter the fixture looking to establish momentum in the early stages of the campaign as they navigate the challenges of the second tier.
Benevento's search for stability
Benevento’s start to the season has been a testing period, marked by a lack of consistency in their league results. Following a narrow defeat to Ascoli Calcio 1898 FC on 5 September and a draw against Sudtirol, the side is eager to secure their first victory of the league campaign.
The team has shown they can find the back of the net, particularly through Francesco Paolo Salvemini, who has been a prolific presence in recent outings. However, defensive discipline in the final quarter of matches has proven costly, with the side conceding five goals after the 75th minute during their last ten competitive appearances.
Hellas Verona's momentum shift
Hellas Verona arrives at the Stadio Ciro Vigorito riding a wave of confidence following a dominant 5-0 victory over S.S. Arezzo on 6 September. This result followed a successful trip to Cagliari in the Coppa Italia, where they secured a 2-1 win, suggesting the team is finding its rhythm after a mixed start to the league schedule.
Having navigated a challenging end to their previous campaign in the top flight, Verona appears to be adapting well to the demands of Serie B. Their ability to secure results away from home in cup competition will provide a morale boost as they face the atmosphere at the Stadio Ciro Vigorito.
Team news and expected lineups
The expected XI for Benevento features Gianmarco Vannucchi in goal, protected by a back four of Pietro Beruatto, Pietro Saio, Stefano Scognamillo, and Leonardo Sernicola. In midfield, the hosts are expected to rely on the trio of Luigi Cherubini, Mattia Maita, and Antonis Siatounis to supply the front line, which should include Francesco Paolo Salvemini, Marco Tumminello, and Davide Lamesta. Benevento will have to cope without Antonio Prisco, who is unavailable due to suspension.
Hellas Verona is expected to line up with Nicola Leali in goal behind a defensive unit of Domagoj Bradaric, Andrias Edmundsson, Seid Korac, and Gabriele Zappa. The midfield battle will likely involve Samuele Mulattieri, Abdou Harroui, Antoine Bernede, and Andrea Le Borgne, while Amin Sarr and Dailon Rocha Livramento are expected to lead the attack.
Echoes of past encounters
The history between these two clubs is characterized by dramatic swings in fortune. Their most recent Serie A meetings in the 2020-21 season saw Hellas Verona claim a 3-0 victory at the Stadio Ciro Vigorito in March 2021, following a 3-1 home win earlier that season.
However, Benevento has enjoyed success against Verona in previous years, including a notable 3-0 win in Serie B back in April 2019. These past encounters demonstrate that neither side has held a permanent upper hand, making the upcoming match a difficult one to call based on historical precedent alone.
The challenge ahead
As the matchday 4 fixture approaches, the focus for Benevento will be on shoring up their late-game defensive lapses to protect their lead or secure a result. For Hellas Verona, the objective is to maintain the attacking intensity they displayed in their most recent league outing.
With both teams aiming to climb the table, the tactical battle in the middle of the pitch will be vital. The ability of the respective forward lines to exploit defensive gaps will likely determine which side leaves the Stadio Ciro Vigorito with the points.
