The Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Benevento travel to Rome to take on Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and will want to win this game.
Benevento are in 16th place in the Serie A standings at the moment and have struggled to impose themselves this season. The away side suffered a 1-0 defeat against Sassuolo last weekend and will need to bounce back in this match.
Lazio have also failed to meet expectations this season and are currently in sixth place in the league table. The Biancocelesti edged Hellas Verona to a crucial 1-0 victory in their previous game and will want a similar result from this game.
Lazio vs Benevento Head-to-Head
Lazio have a near-flawless record against Benevento in the Italian league and have won three out of four games played between the two sides. Benevento have never defeated Lazio in an official fixture and will have to be at their best this weekend.
The previous meeting between these two teams took place in December last year and ended in a hard-fought 1-1 draw. Benevento gave a good account of themselves on the day and will want a similar performance in this fixture.
