Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Benevento, 15th position with 25 points and a negative goal difference of -17
Napoli, 7th position with 40 points and a positive goal difference of +22
Napoli with a sprint race to get back to the top 6 positions. The mission is to win the Serie A Week 24 game against Benevento on Sunday 28 February 2021 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Napoli, Italy. Pressure is high for Coach Gennaro Gattuso facing his ex-Milan teammate Filippo Inzaghi coaching Benevento.
- Stats before the game: Napoli are one of the three teams that Benevento have met at least three times in Serie A and have always lost (three times out of three), together with Inter and Atalanta. Benevento recorded their defeat with the widest margin in Serie A against Napoli in September 2017 (6-0 at the home of the Neapolitans). Napoli have won their last three Serie A home games and could record four straight home wins in a single league for the first time since February 2019 (five in that case). Napoli have kept a clean sheet in their last three Serie A games at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium and could record at least four clean sheets in a row at home in the competition for the first time since March 2011 (eight in that case). Benevento have drawn their last three league games: the last newly promoted team to have recorded four “X” marks in a row in Serie A was Lecce in November 2019.
Napoli forward Dries Mertens will be playing his 250th game in Serie A. Gianluca Lapadula of Benevento made his Serie A debut against Napoli in August 2016 with the AC Milan shirt.
