Benevento vs Palermo Prediction
Both teams are in danger of suffering relegation and will look to try and avoid losing to a direct relegation rival.
Benevento's poor run of form at home has not inspired confidence, and their backline is susceptible. They have kept just two clean sheets in 15 games across competitions this term.
Although either team could nick a win, the spoils could be shared, with goals at both ends.
