Benevento have lost all three of their Serie A games against Inter – their joint-highest tally alongside Atalanta, Napoli, and Roma.

Inter have won both home matches against Benevento in all competitions, both under Luciano Spalletti: 2-0 in Serie A in February 2018 and 6-2 in the Coppa Italia Last 16 in January 2019.

Inter have won their last six home Serie A games and could register seven for the first time since December 2018; while Antonio Conte could win seven home matches in a row in the top-5 European Leagues for the first time since December 2017 under Chelsea.

Benevento have picked up 18 points more (22 v 4) than in 2017/18 after 19 games: this is the joint-highest improvement compared to a previous season played in Serie A after 19 games in the three points for win era - alongside AC Milan in the current season (43 points v 25 in 2019/20).

Since the restart of the top-5 European Leagues post lockdown, only Bayern Munich (80) have scored more goals than Inter (77).

Lautaro Martínez hasn't scored in his last four Serie A games; however, the Inter forward has scored seven goals in 13 appearances against newly promoted teams in the competition, including his only hat-trick, against Crotone on January 3rd.
