---

We will be treated to one solitary game in the Serie A this Friday as Bologna and Benevento go at each other with three points up for grabs. Both sides head into this game with the same number of points having played 21 games each. as such, we expect to see a highly-spirited encounter this Friday night. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

The newly-promoted side ran out 1-0 winners in the reverse match earlier this season. Gianluca Lapadula scored the only goal of the game as Inzaghi's troops celebrated a massive victory.

Feisty encounter on the cards

Benevento head into this fixture having failed to secure maximum points in their last five league games. This brings with it some concern as a continuation in this trajectory could force them into a relegation scrap at the end of the season. Given that they only just got promoted, they would need to avoid that at all costs. In their most recent game, they failed to secure maximum points at home to Sampdoria. Caprari had already put them in front only 10 minutes into the second half but this lead vanished 10 minutes from time as Keita Balde drew his side level. No further goals were scored as both sides shared the spoils. Can they do one better this Friday?

Bologna's superior goal difference puts them ahead of their opponents on the Serie A Standings. Given that they were four points behind Inzaghi's troops about a month ago, two wins in four cut this lead as both sides are now level on points. A Musa barrow brace in the first-half and an Orsolini strike in the second half secured maximum points for Bologna as they easily got past Parma 3-0 on the day.
