Our prediction for this Serie B match:
There will be fireworks when Frosinone and Benevento go head to head at Stadio Benito Stirpe in the Serie B derby. Both sides are eyeing a place in the playoffs; therefore, this should be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. Frosinone are a real force to be reckoned with at home, and you should know that they are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in the Italian second tier. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Benevento.
The Gli Stregoni, on the other hand, played out a 2-2 draw with Brescia in midweek, and given their attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score this time out. Colombia midfielder Andres Tello is banned for the visiting side, while all Sau, Lapadula, Letizia, and Barba should miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Francesco Zampano):
Francesco Zampano is a product of Sampdoria’s youth school. The pacey full back, who is capable of playing as a midfielder as well, began his senior career at Entella, making 51 league appearances for the club between 2011 and 2013. At the end of the 2012/2013 campaign he moved to Verona, but he was immediately sent on loan to Juve Stabia.
After playing 33 league games for the club in the 2013/2014 season, he signed a loan deal with Pescara. In July, 2015 Zampano signed a permanent deal with Pescara and it has to be noted that he made 38 league appearances for the club in the 2015/2016 Serie B campaign.
The Italian footballer, who was born in Genoa on 30 September, 1993, has three caps for Italy U20, but he has yet to make his debut for the senior team. His contract with Pescara expires on 30 June, 2020.
Highlighted Team (Benevento):
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.
Benevento were founded in 1929 as Associazione Calcio Benevento and back then they played their home games at Meomartini, the venue which was built by Ciccio Minocchia. Nowadays, the Stregoni welcome their rivals at Stadio Giro Vigorito and the capacity of the stadium is 12.847. Benevento are well known for their yellow jerseys with red stripes, whilst they wear white shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels.
After Napoli, Salernitana and Avellino Benevento become the fourth club from Campania to compete in the Serie A. Matches between the aforementioned teams are well known as Campania derbies.
