Prediction: 0-1
Benevento
Empoli play host to Benevento in a highly-anticipated clash at Stadio Carlo Castellani. The Gli Azzurri aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Spezia, and a win over Benevento will see them regain their spot in top eight. Pinna is sidelined with injury for the visitors, but there are no suspended footballers in the home team ahead of Friday’s football match. The Gli Stregoni, on the other hand, restarted the season in great manner, with the team beating Cremonese thanks to Roberto Insigne’s goal.
The league leaders extended their winning run in the Serie B to eight games, with the team moving one step closer to securing automatic promotion to the Italian elite division. Benevento aim to get their job done as soon as possible, and we are positive that they will give fans yet another reason for celebration on Friday evening. Away win should be considered despite the fact that Antei (injury) and Volta (suspension) are out of contention for the visitors.

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.
