Benevento vs Napoli Prediction & Betting tips
Benevento will be visited by Napoli this weekend and hopes to set an example to AZ. The Alkmaarders showed last Thursday that you do not have to be the better team of the Azzurri, who had won all their matches up to that point.
Benevento:
Benevento has achieved excellent results against the competition so far. In the opening game, it managed to turn an early 2-0 deficit at Sampdoria into a 2-3 victory, in addition, Bologna was beaten 1-0 by a hit by Gianluca Lapadula. The experienced striker was not in the starting eleven but was allowed to come in after fifteen minutes when Gabriele Moncini was injured.
Last weekend the striker who came over from Lecce was allowed to start from AS Roma but it was his namesake and partner in the attack Gianluca Caprari who took care of the early 0-1. However, AS Roma were many times better in the second half and went to rest with a 2-1 lead thanks to Pedro and Edin Dzeko. Shortly after the break Lapadula also got his moment. He was allowed to build from the penalty spot, shot weakly but was then able to make the 2-2 from the rebound. Although Benevento could offer a lot more resistance to the Romans in the second half, they lost 5-2, as was also lost 5-2 to Inter.
SSC Naples:
Napoli has made the best impression of all teams in the Serie A so far. For example, a stripped Genoa was won 6-0 and Champions League quarter-finalist Atalanta was beaten 4-1. Genaro Gattuso has got Hirving Lozano to score and with record purchase Victor Osimhen the club from Naples has gold in its hands.
Despite the goal to score in Italy, the Neapolitans did not manage to score in the European meeting with AZ. This time, opportunities were not spent on Dries Mertens and Osimhen, among others, and a close-knit collective from Alkmaar even managed to win a victory via Dani de Wit. Gattuso was not satisfied with his team after the match: “We had a lot of the ball, but mainly tickled AZ instead of hurting AZ. We played too predictably while AZ defended with passion.”
