Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Genoa
After sharing the spoils with Lazio on Tuesday, Benevento will be looking to put an end to their four-game winless run when they take on Genoa in yet another home fixture. The newcomers have been in a fine form of late, and they are surely capable of matching the Rossoblu on home soil. Keep in mind, though, that Schiattarella is banned for the match, with Maggio and Caldirola remaining in the recovery room.
Genoa did well to hold Milan to a 2-2 draw at their Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris, but given their poor away record in the Serie A, we are tempted to put our money on Benevento this time out. The likes of Biraschi, Cassata, Marchetti, Zapata, and Zapacosta missed the Milan game through injuries, and they are unlikely to play against Benevento. In their last meeting at Stadio Ciro Vigorito the hosts emerged triumphant, with Diabate scoring a late winner.

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.
