Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Bari will look to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Ternana when they take on Benevento in the Serie B round 31. I Biancorossi are eager to, at least, secure a top-four finish, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Benevento. Experienced forward Mirco Antenucci is pushing for a start, while both Folorunsho and Ceter remain in the treatment room.
The Gli Stregoni, on the other hand, failed to win the previous five league fixtures, with the team remaining in the relegation zone. Since Benevento failed to find the net in four of their last five league matches, we predict that Bari are going to return to winning ways this weekend. Defender Maxime Leverbe serves a one-game ban, while fit-again forward Stefano Pettinari is pushing for a start. You should bear in mind that I Biancorossi are eyeing their sixth home win of the process.
Highlighted Player (Camillo Ciano):
Despite beginning his youth career at Napoli, attacking midfielder Camillo Ciano did not make his debut with the Partenopei in the Serie B. After spending several years of his career on loan at Lecco, Cavese, Crotone, Padova and Avellino, Ciano signed for Parma in 2014. However, he was immediately sent on loan to Crotone where he scored 17 goals in 36 appearances for the club.
In 2015 the Italian footballer joined Cesena where he found his best form. In 2017 he moved to fellow Serie B side Frosinone and it has to be noted that he impressed in the 2017/2018 Serie B season, scoring 14 goals and providing 17 assists for his teammates.
Camillo Ciano’s main position is right winger, but he is used as both second striker and left winger as well. He was born on February 22, 1990 in Marcianise (Italy). Ciano’s preferred foot is left.
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.
