Benevento - Catanzaro

Can Catanzaro find defensive stability when they visit Stadio Ciro Vigorito on 27 October 2026? Benevento enter this matchday 9 fixture with momentum, highlighted by a commanding 3-0 victory over Arezzo. The hosts are expected to field an attacking setup featuring Francesco Paolo Salvemini and David Okereke up front, supported by a midfield anchored by Mattia Maita. Their recent form suggests a side finding its rhythm, having secured three wins in their last five league outings while remaining difficult to break down.

Conversely, Catanzaro arrive following a difficult 6-1 defeat against Ascoli, leaving them desperate for a response. The expected XI, led by Pietro Iemmello and N'Dri Koffi, will need to tighten their structure significantly to survive this trip. With the two sides last meeting in the 2016 Lega Pro group stage, this encounter marks a fresh chapter in their history as both teams look to establish their credentials in the current Serie B campaign.
