Inter have won nine of the ten SA games in which talisman Romelu Lukaku has scored, including seven straight wins. Meanwhile, Gianluca Lapadula scored and assisted in Benevento’s latest result (D 2-2). Seven of Benevento’s last eight SA away games have had the same result at both HT and FT.

Inter Insights.

After a tempestuous Coppa Italia derby win, Inter Milan will hope to recover quickly and address their poor recent Serie A (SA) form (W1, D2, L1). A 0-0 draw vs Udinese notwithstanding, Inter remain strong scorers, with 2+ goals in nine of their last 12 SA games. Most of the action arrives late, however, with Inter netting 23 (or 51.11%) of their 45 league goals beyond the hour mark. Late sparks have played a big role in Inter’s league-leading point retrieval rate after conceding first (W4, D2, L2), which improves at home (W3, D1, L1), where Inter are chasing a seventh successive SA home win for the first time since Dec 2018. Late goals could prove to be the catalyst once again, with Inter netting 24% of their SA home goals beyond the 80th minute.

Benevento Insights.

Surprise package Benevento are just outside the top-half, picking up 18 points more than their previous top-flight season after 19 games (W6, D4, L9). Notably, that is the joint-highest improvement by any club compared to their respective previous top-flight season. Much like their hosts, Benevento boast an impressive point retrieval capability after conceding first (W2, D2, L7). Instant improvements will be sought in them starting well, as Benevento have conceded 41.67% of their SA 36 ‘goals against’ within the 30th minute. Relatively better on the road than at home, Benevento have picked up ten points from their last six SA away matches (W3, D1, L2). The sequence also marked Benevento’s improved defensive rate, conceding only one goal per game as compared to 3.33 in three prior road trips!
