Benevento vs Torino

Benevento has certainly done well in this first part of the season. The Samnites are eleventh in the standings with 21 points collected in eighteen days and have an eight-point advantage over the relegation zone and the third from last place, currently occupied by Turin. Last year, among other things, the promotion came by dominating the Serie B championship and reaching 100 points. Pippo Inzaghi’s team suffered a bad defeat in the last round, losing 4-1 to Scida against Crotone in the direct match.

Torino was the protagonist of a truly disastrous start to the season. The grenades are in a full battle to avoid relegation, being in third from the last place with 13 points, level on points with the penultimate Parma. You need continuity to try to get out of the hot spots. The expectations at the beginning of the year were very different and for this reason, the club in the end decided to sack Marco Giampaolo, entrusting the bench to Davide Nicola. In this choice, he also weighed the 0-0 home draw against Spezia in the last round, despite having played 80 minutes with one more man.

Benevento vs Torino lineups

Benevento coach Pippo Inzaghi will rely on a 4-3-2-1, with Lapadula leading the attack. Behind him, they will be free to act on the line of the attacking midfielders Insigne and Sau. The midfield hinge, on the other hand, should be composed of Ionita, Dabo, and Hetemaj, with Schiattarella out being positive at Covid. The Turin coach, Davide Nicola, does not seem oriented to change and will rely on 3-5-2. The attacking couple will be formed by Zaza and Belotti. The outsiders, with the task of carrying out the double phase, will be Singo and Ricardo Rodriguez. In the middle of the field, however, there should be Lukic, Segre, and Linetty.

• Benevento (4-3-2-1): Montipò; Improta, Glik, Tuia, Barba; Ionita, Dabo, Hetemaj; Insigne, Sau; Lapadula.
• Turin (3-5-2): Sirigu; Izzo, Lyanco, Bremer; Singo, Lukic, Segre, Linetty, Rodriguez; Zaza, Belotti.

Benevento vs Torino Picks
