Benevento vs. Milan 1/3/21 Serie A Soccer Pick, Odds, and Prediction

Benevento is hosting Milan at Stadio Ciro Vigorito in round 15 in the Italian Serie A.

Benevento has been hot and cold this season, well, mostly cold. Benevento has won only 3 of their last 12 games, but they are safely outside the relegation zone, in 10th place with 18 points after 14 games. Benevento has been decent in the attacking end with 17 scored goals, but their defense has been shaky at best with 23 conceded goals so far. Benevento has won their last 2 Serie A games, and they haven’t conceded a goal while doing it. In their latest game, Benevento was playing against Udinese on the road, and they have had only 39% of ball possession, 4 shots on goal, 1 corner kick, 0 big chances created, and only 74% of the correct passes. Benevento was defending really well in this game, and they were able to score one goal in each half. Benevento has won this match 0-2. Caprari has been the best player for Benevento with 4 goals and 3 assists so far this season, while Lapadula and Letizia added 3 goals each. Volta, Maggio, Caldriola, and Falque are all injured for Benevento at the moment. Benevento doesn’t need much more to secure their Serie A status, but they need a little bit, and I think they will get it.

Milan is the only team from the European top leagues that is still unbeaten this season, and they are deservedly at the top of the table with 34 points, 32 scored goals, and 16 conceded goals. After two draws in a row, Milan has won their last 2 straight Serie A games, and they have scored 5 goals while doing it. The biggest problem for Milan at the moment is that they are conceding too many goals, but the good news is they are scoring more. Ibrahimovic has scored 10 goals for Milan so far this season, and the good news is that he is healthy, and should be in the lineup for this match. Calhanoglu has added 6 assists for Milan. Kjaer, Bennancer, Gabbia, and Hernandez are all injured, while Castillejo is questionable. Milan was hosting Lazio in the latest Serie A derby before Christmas, and they have had only 38% of ball possession, 5 shots on goal, 4 corner kicks, 3 big chances created, and 78% of the correct passes. Milan scored 2 quick goals in the first half, but Lazio got back until the 57th minute. Milan has had a few more good chances until the end of the game, and they were able to score in the 92nd minute. Milan has won this match 3-2. I’m sure Milan has surprised many people with their good game this season, and I really hope they can keep playing that way, and even win the title.

Benevento and Milan have played only twice against each other, and Milan has never won. Milan has been outstanding on the road so far this season, and they have 6 wins and a draw. With Milan scoring a ton of goals, I will give it a shot with Milan and goals.
