It’s early in the season and coaches need more time to get everyone on the same page, so when international fixtures arrive they schedule friendlies as competitive practice matches. In one such match, Eusebio di Francesco’s Roma will take on Serie B’s Benevento. The game is set to kick off today, September 6 at 18:00 CET.
Benevento vs Roma H2H
Last year, Benevento were members of Serie A, meaning these two met twice. Roma won both fixtures with ease, 4-0 away and 5-2 at home. Those encounters are the only ones registered.

Benevento vs Roma Preview
Benevento drew their first Serie B contest 3-3 with Lecce. They had to come back from three goals down to do it, showing resilience early in the season. Prior to that, The Sorcerers eliminated Udinese in the Coppa Italia, also by turning the score around (2-1).
Roma had three tough games to open the new campaign and got out of them with mixed results. First, they beat Torino thanks to a last-minute wonder goal by Edin Dzeko, then Di Francesco’s men had to come back from a 3-1 deficit to draw 3-3 with Atalanta at home. Finally, this past Friday, The Giallorossi suffered heartbreak when Patrick Cutrone found the net in the 95th minute to give his AC Milan side a 2-1 victory at San Siro.
This match will be an opportunity for Roma to boost their confidence, as well as a chance for fringe members of the squad to show what they can do.

Benevento vs Roma Prediction
The fact that this is a road game for Roma shouldn’t really affect the final outcome. The visitors will be open for business and looking to score, which means we should see plenty of goals in an eventual Roma victory.
