Prediction: 2-0
Crotone
Benevento will be looking to keep their survival hopes alive when they take on Crotone in the Serie A round 37. The Gli Stregoni do not seem to be at the top of their game, but they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. Even though Benevento are on a four-match losing run, home win should definitely be considered as Crotone have nothing to play for. Luca Caldirola is banned for the match, while Marco Sau and Gabriele Moncini are out of contention through injuries.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-0 loss to Roma in their last away game, and given the lack of motivation in the away team, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. Poland defender Arkadiusz Reca remains on the sidelines through injury.
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.
