Benevento – Vicenza Virtus

Benevento host Vicenza Virtus in what promises to be a decisive clash in the lower half of the table. Sitting seventh with seven points from two wins, a draw and two defeats, the home side have a modest +1 goal difference (6‑5) and will be eager to extend their push for a top‑six finish. Vicenza, languishing in 17th place with five points and a -3 goal margin (7‑10), will need to turn their solitary win and two draws into a full‑point haul to escape the relegation scrap. The two teams have met only sparingly this season, but the gap in recent form suggests Benevento enter as clear favourites. A win for the hosts could propel them into the playoff spots, while a slip-up would give Vicenza a lifeline in their fight for survival.
