Prediction: 1-1
Ascoli
Following a 1-1 draw with Lecce, Benevento will look to stay in the playoffs berth when they welcome Ascoli to their Stadio Ciro Vigorito on Wednesday evening. The Gli Stregoni are eyeing their seventh consecutive win at home ground, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in the midweek fixture. Forward Salvatore Elia should be the only absentee in the home team.
Ascoli, on the other hand, are only one point behind top eight ahead of Matchday 23. Since both sides are likely to go for a win in Wednesday’s clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. All Luca Paganini, Enrico Guarna, and Mirko Eramo should miss out with injuries, speaking of the away side, while Dario Saric is banned. You should know that 12 goals in total have been netted in the previous three meetings between the two sides.
Highlighted Player (Gianluca Lapadula):
Gianluca Lapadula, also known as Lapagol, due to his goalscoring abilities, was born in Turin and started his career at Juventus youth team, but was released because he wasn’t doing well in his studies. After the departure with Juventus, Lapadula perfected his goalscoring skills in lower Italian leagues and even spent one year in NK Gorica, Slovenia.
During his spell in Ravenna, he managed to finish the season 2012/13 as the top scorer in the group, netting 24 goals in the process. For a long period of time, the 28-year-old was Parma’s player, but he went on loans often, and, after Parma went bankrupt, Lapagol moved to Pescara. With 30 goals in 43 appearances, the striker caught the eye of Serie A giant Milan. He netted his first goal for the Rossoneri only three minutes after he came on as a substitute.
The following season Lapagol became the striker of Genoa. Even though he was called to play for Peru, the Genoa hitman decided to represent Italy, getting his first call to the senior squad in November 2016. However, he never made an official appearance for Italy, since he only played an unofficial friendly against San Marino, when he scored a hat-trick.
