Benevento vs Milan match preview

After winning Serie B last season, not many would have expected Benevento to adjust to the Italian top-flight with such aplomb. Filippo Inzaghi's side are currently 10th in Serie A standings, with 18 points from the 14 games they have played so far. They've also managed to record two league victories this week and will be hoping to hand Milan their first defeat of the campaign. 

AC Milan have had an exceptional start to the 2020-21 Serie A campaign as they remain the only team unbeaten in Europe's top 5 domestic leagues. Stefano Pioli's side have a one-point lead at the top of the table and will be aware that they still need to keep grinding out results in order to keep their title rivals at bay. The Rossoneri overcame a slight blip prior to Christmas after drawing two consecutive matches before beating Sassuolo and Lazio.
