Five talking points from Serie A Matchday 13

Juventus have lost their aura of invincibility and seem to be there for the taking

#5 Benevento is headed back to Serie B soon

The Serie A newcomers are almost certain to be relegated

Campania's Benevento Calcio is playing in Italy's top flight for the first time ever in their history, and a 13-game losing run certainly wasn't the way they would've expected their debut to pan out.

Yes, you read it right, the Yellow and Reds have lost each and every game of the league so far, also setting the unwanted record for the worst start to a Serie A season ever in the process.

Rock-bottom in the standings with a grand total of zero points in the bag, the Naples outfit have accrued just six goals and conceded a staggering 33.

The likes of Napoli, AS Roma, Lazio, and Fiorentina have literally made them sweep the floor with dominant wins, amassing a total of 18 goals between them against Benevento this season.

With a defense that's virtually non-existent and an attack that's seriously impotent, Benevento is having a torrid time in the premier Italian league and a relegation back into the second division looks very imminent.

Roberto De Zerbi's side is easily one of the worst football has seen in decades, and the hapless Italian gaffer will soon face the ax.

Benevento's long list of humiliations also includes an embarrassing 4-0 home loss to Serie B side Perugia in the Coppa Italia, reflecting where they rightfully belong.
