Serie A
Roma vs Benevento
14:45 ET
The return of Chris Smalling should bring a measure of stability back to the defence that was ruthlessly exposed by Hellas Verona and Juventus, conceding five times in total, though Roma's attack is yet to click.
Conversely, the Sorcerers have proved to be menacing on their return to Serie A, netting six goals from three games so far, including two against last season's runners-up Inter Milan, and can be hard to stop once again.
Expect a high-scoring contest with the Gialorossi riding on home comfort and edging to a hard-fought win.
Interestingly, these sides have met only twice in the top-flight before - back in the 2017-18 season when Benevento played in Serie A for the very first time. On both occasions, the capital club triumphed comfortably.
Roma ran out 5-2 victors at home, driven by Cengiz Under's late double, before thrashing the debutants 4-0 at the Ciro Vigorito, with Edin Dzeko bagging a brace alongside two own goals.
