Le Streghe could be mathematically doomed this evening if they lose this clash and either SPAL or Crotone win their matches.

Le Streghe could be mathematically doomed this evening if they lose this clash and either SPAL or Crotone win their matches.

They’ve been doomed for a while and could still set the record for the least points accrued in a 20-team Serie A season, but their recent form has been surprisingly good.

Benevento frightened Juventus in a 4-2 thriller, held Sassuolo to a 2-2 draw and have discovered a hitman in Cheick Diabate, who bagged braces in each of his last three games.

He leads the attack again, though Guilherme joins Luca Antei and Ledian Memushaj on the treatment table.

Atalanta are still in the running for a place in the Europa League, although they’ve been crawling along lately with two draws and a defeat.

If Gian Piero Gasperini’s men were to falter again, it’d be the first time since March 2016 they went four rounds without a victory.

Rafael Toloi is suspended with Josip Ilicic, Leonardo Spinazzola and Jose Luis Palomino injured.

Atalanta are unbeaten in their last 10 meetings with newly-promoted clubs, including eight victories.

Benevento: Puggioni; Billong, Djimsiti, Tosca; Venuti, Del Pinto, Viola, Lombardi; Brignola, Diabate, Parigini

Atalanta: Berisha; Mancini, Caldara, Masiello; Hateboer, De Roon, Freuler, Gosens; Cristante; Petagna, Gomez
