Benevento vs Juventus Match Preview

Benevento is ranked at 14th place with nine points and comes after a single win and four losses over the last five matches. They just ended a five-game losing streak including a loss in the Cup, but things are set to be difficult for them now as they have to face the Champions.

Considering they are a newly promoted team they have done surprisingly better until now, winning three matches in total, but it is also true that they have the worst defensive side in the league with 20 goals conceded in eight games, averaging more than two goals per game. The positive news for them is that Cristiano Ronaldo will be rested, but, still, Juventus has got many players able to punish them.

Juventus, on the other hand, is ranked at 4th place with 16 points and comes after two wins and three draws over the last five matches. They are one of the few teams that are still unbeaten, but drawing half of their games so far is too much for a team like them so I expect to see a hungry team for victory. The odds went up as soon as the news for Cristiano Ronaldo missing this game came out, however, still I see Juventus as big favorites here.

In attack we should see the duo Morata-Dybala backed up by Kulusevski and this trio facing the worst defense in Serie A surely can cause some troubles. Bonucci is back from his injury and should partner with De Ligt in the usual solid defensive duo.

In conclusion, I think Juventus can win this match and cover -1 goals of Asian handicap. They are aiming for their 10th title in a row and after securing a ticket for the next stage in the UCL, now they can fully focus on the league. They won both h2h games against Benevento in the past. Benevento somehow managed to beat Fiorentina but I do no see how they can stop Juventus now.
