Gli Stregoni have gone six matches without a win in Italy's top-flight following a 1-1 draw at Bologna this past weekend. As a result, Benevento remain in relegation danger, nine points above the drop.
Roma returned to winning ways in Serie A with a 3-0 win over Udinese. The
Giallorossi have been exceptional against teams below them on the league standings this season, but have failed to beat any of the sides above them. Despite that, the capital club remain in the title race and head into this weekend's fixtures in third spot, seven points off the pace.
“I am very satisfied. We started the game strong, scored two goals – three, one disallowed – and created more chances," Roma head coach Paulo Fonseca told DAZN on Valentine's Day.
“In the second half, we controlled the tempo, kept a clean sheet and I think put in a great performance.
“If we look at the performance against Juventus, we did well and were only missing the result. We got the three points and they were very important," he added.
