Padova welcome the visitors Benevento in the Italian Serie B – Round 18. The match will be held on Thursday, December 27th, at the Stadio Euganeo (Padova).
No matter how prejudiced we may seem towards Benevento ’s performance in general and in outings, in particular, their Thursday hosts are very suitable for getting three points, or, at least, one, in this round. Padova are yet beyond playing equal against the opponents so far. They’ve registered only one win in fourteen rounds. That was a very late win in the clash with Ascoli. It would be good if the ‘White-Shielded’ lost by a minimum goal-margin, but in third of their fixtures they have allowed three goals minimum! Normally, when there are issues with defense, attack may help. The team are neither effective – they score around one goal per round. So, the welcoming side’s outlook remains foggy. Surprisingly though, only in their two latest matches, they lose in front of their own fans. We are not saying Padova will not pick up three points tomorrow, we just mean that they will not win in the coming encounter, same as in six previous ones. What else can be expected of the newcomer to the Serie B in their first season?

Benevento did not only happen to beat Crotone, they managed to score thrice to them. In their outings, the team need to finally win, if they look to compete for the knockouts (they are not likely to qualify from the top tiers not because of their breakaway, but because of the quality of their play and inconsistency of their performance). The ‘Sorcerers’ have been failing to find the net yet in two rounds. Overall, in their seven outings, they racked up nine points. You’ll be surprised, but Benevento are in the top-five.
Padova have lost in their last four rounds with the total scoreline of 4:8. As we see, there were no grounds for a draw at least. The opponent do not matter much – Padova conceded both to the topping Lecce, 2:3, and to the twelfth, 1:2. So, the guests are more likely to win on Thursday. Benevento at least score 1.5 times more. We would even try betting on the visiting side’s win with -1.0 handicap – but this is not to everyone’s taste.
Prediction for the match: Benevento to win with 0.0 handicap.
