Prediction: 3-0
Benevento
Napoli will be looking to bounce back from a 4-2 loss to Atalanta when they face Benevento at their Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday evening. The Neapolitans rested several first-team regulars at the weekend, but Genaro Gattuso is likely to field the best possible side against Benevento. You should bear in mind that Napoli are after their fourth consecutive win at home ground. The likes of Manolas, Demme, Lozano, Petagna, Ospina, and Hysaj are all likely to miss the game with injuries.
The Yellow-Reds, on the other hand, have drawn each of the previous three league fixtures. Benevento, though, were more than fortunate not to suffer a loss to Roma in their last league game, which is probably the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on Genaro Gattuso’s charges. Since Glik is banned for the visitors, home win should be considered.

FC Benevento secured promotion to the Serie A for the first time in their history at the end of the 2016/2017 campaign, but it has to be noted that they finished the regular season in 5th place in the standings. The Stregoni (Witches) did well to beat Perugia and Carpi in the promotion play-offs and, as a result, they are going to taste a top-flight football.
