Ascoli eye top spot as Benevento seek survival lifeline
Ascoli look to cement their place in the continental spots while a struggling Benevento side fights to distance themselves from the relegation zone.
Ascoli sit 5th in the table with four points from their opening two fixtures. After a confidence-boosting 2-1 away victory against Hellas Verona, Tomei’s side played out a 1-1 draw with Carrarese last time out. The manager is expected to stick with his 4-2-3-1 system, relying on the midfield stability provided by Damiani and Corradini to maintain their unbeaten start to the campaign.
Benevento find themselves in 15th place, hovering just one point above the drop zone. Floro Flores is still searching for his first league win of the season following a 2-1 opening day defeat to Modena and a 1-1 draw against Sudtirol. Despite being the league's top scorers in the previous campaign, the visitors have struggled for momentum and appear vulnerable at the back, having conceded in their recent outings.
