[Football- Italy 'Serie A'] 2.11/ 20:45 Verona- Benevento
This is a battle of 10th (Verona) vs 13th (Benevento) in what should be (according to recent statistics) a tight, hard fought battle between two working-class teams.
The hosts Verona have surprised many with their early-season stubbornness at the back, keeping a clean sheet in each of their last four home league games and they've performed relatively solid overall at home, having not lost a match in 7 of their last 8 home matches in Serie A.
However, at the other end, they are the only Serie A side yet to score during the first half this season, as star signing Nikola Kalinic takes time to settle in as the club's number nine.
I believe there's a real chance of a draw to occur in this fixture considering Hellas Verona have been Italian football's draw specialists. In 2020, only Celta Vigo - with 14 - have drawn more games than Verona's 11 in the 'top five' European Leagues. They have drawn their last two Serie A games and, against Benevento, could potentially tie three league matches in a row for the first time since January 2016. That's why it's important to note that I've taken the Draw No Bet option to account for this scenario.
Verona's opponents Benevento are travelling to Verona in poor form, having recorded another loss in their last match, a 4-2 loss against Serie B side Empoli, in the Coppa Italia. This result makes it three consecutive defeats for them and it may have further diminished their belief as they face a testing challenge, making the long trip north.
