Matchday 11 Serie A TIM 2020-21 11 - 13 December 2020 11/12/2020 20:45 - MAPEI STADIUM SASSUOLO Vs BENEVENTO Sassuolo are unbeaten against Benevento in Serie A TIM, thanks to an away win and a home draw in the 2017/18 season. Sassuolo are unbeaten in their last 10 Serie A TIM matches against newly promoted teams (W6 D4), including three wins in the three most recent matches against Lecce, Spezia and Crotone. Sassuolo have kept four clean sheets in their last five league games, as many clean sheets as in their previous 28 Serie A TIM matches. Sassuolo haven’t netted in their last two league games; the last time they failed to score in three Serie A TIM games in a row was back in February 2018. Sassuolo haven’t won in their last three home league games (D2 L1) – the last time they reached four home matches consecutive without success was back in March 2019. For the first time in Serie A TIM, Benevento have remained unbeaten for three games in a row (W1 D2): Filippo Inzaghi has achieved five games unbeaten in his first 10 games under Benevento in the top-flight, while Roberto De Zerbi reached this in 21 matches with Benevento. Benevento have kept a clean sheet in their last two away Serie A TIM matches: in their previous 22 games on the road in the competition they kept only three shutouts. Roberto De Zerbi coached Benevento in Serie A TIM, winning six and drawing three in 29 games in 2017/18 season (L20). Benevento’s Marco Sau has scored four goals against Sassuolo in Serie A TIM (most recently in May 2017 with Cagliari): against no team has he scored more goals in the competition. 12/12/2020 15:00 - EZIO SCIDA CROTONE Vs SPEZIA Crotone and Spezia have met in 14 matches in Serie B and only on one occasion did they register a draw (0-0 in April 2016): four Calabrian wins and nine Ligurians victories. Crotone have failed to score in four of their seven home matches against Spezia in Serie B, while the Ligurians won in their last two away matches at the Scida stadium (3-0 in December 2018 and 2-1 in January 2020). In the three points for a win era, only four teams have picked up two or fewer points in the first 10 seasonal Serie A TIM games: Reggiana in 1994/95, Benevento in 2017/18, Chievo in 2018/19 and Crotone (twice, in 2016/17 and in the current season). Since 2011/12, only one of the 10 newly promoted teams in Serie A TIM that picked up at least 10 points in the first 10 seasonal matches has been relegated (Frosinone in 2015/16) – Spezia have gained 10 points this season. Spezia have caught their opponents offside on 39 occasions in the current Serie A TIM campaign, more than any other team. Crotone have posted the worst shot conversion rate in Serie A TIM this season: scoring with only six of their 96 total shots (6.3%). Spezia have conceded five goals in the first 15 minutes of action, at least two more than any other team in Serie A TIM this season in this period. M'Bala Nzola has scored in his only match against Crotone, which came in Serie B in January 2020 at Scida stadium: the French forward has netted four of his last five Spezia's goals in Serie A TIM this season, three of these in away matches. Junior Messias (900) and Simy (893) are the two strikers with the most minutes played in the current Serie A TIM season, but have only scored four goals combined so far (two from penalties). No player in Serie A TIM this season has completed more dribbles than Junior Messias (27): the Crotone forward has also attempted 27 shots so far, fewer only than Ibrahimovic, Mkhitaryan, Lautaro, Ronaldo and Gómez. 12/12/2020 18:00 - OLIMPICO GRANDE TORINO TORINO Vs UDINESE Udinese have only won one of their last nine Serie A TIM matches against Torino (D3 L5). Torino have won each of their last three home games against Udinese in Serie A TIM without conceding a goal, as many wins in the previous nine matches with the Bianconeri at the Olimpico Grande Torino stadium (D2 L4). Torino have only won one of their last 15 league games (D6 L8): the last time the Granata have achieved so few wins in a series of 15 games in Serie A TIM was back in 2006. Torino are winless in their last seven home games in Serie A TIM (D3 L4); the last time the Granata registered a longer home streak without win was back in 2003 (eight): their joint-worst such record alongside a streak in 1959. Udinese have won their last two league games and could win three consecutive matches for the first time since January 2020 - this was the only time the Bianconeri achieved this feat under Gotti. Udinese have won five of their last nine away league matches (D1 L3): as many as in their previous 33 matches on the road in Serie A TIM. No team has conceded more goals than Torino in Serie A TIM this season (24): their previous worst total after 10 top-flight games was 21 goals conceded in 2002/03. Torino have lost 19 points from winning positions in the current league season: a negative record in the history of Serie A TIM after 10 games played - in the whole of the last Serie A TIM campaign, the Granata lost 27 points from winning positions. In his last nine Serie A TIM matches against Udinese, Torino’s Andrea Belotti has scored five goals and provided one assist. Udinese’s Stefano Okaka has scored three league goals against Torino: against no team has he netted more in Serie A TIM. 12/12/2020 20:45 - OLIMPICO LAZIO Vs HELLAS VERONA Lazio have won six of their last seven games against Verona in Serie A TIM (D1), as many as in the previous 16 matches against them (D6 L4). Lazio have won 23 points out of 27 at home against Verona in the three points per win era, having scored 30 goals against them in the process: their best goals-per-game average (3.3) against sides they’ve faced at least three times at home since 1994-95. Lazio have conceded 17 goals after the first 10 games in Serie A TIM this season, their worst tally at this stage in the competition since 1992-93 (18). Lazio have won only one of their five home games in Serie A TIM this term (D2 L2), their worst tally since 2009-10, when they lost the sixth home match. Verona have conceded eight goals after the first 10 games in Serie A TIM this season, as many as in the last campaign, only doing better at this stage back in 1984-85 (4), when they won the title at the end of the season. Verona won their last game on the road in Serie A TIM against Atalanta, after a streak of nine draws and five defeats, last winning consecutive away top-flight games in 2014. Verona are one of only two teams yet to win a single point from losing positions, while Lazio are yet to lose a single point after taking the lead in Serie A TIM this season. Lazio have scored the most goals in injury time in Serie A TIM this term (3), while Verona are yet to score a goal after the 90th minute. Lazio forward Ciro Immobile has scored a goal in each of his last five league games; he scored his last hat-trick in Serie A TIM in July against Verona, during a streak of scoring in six games in a row. Mattia Zaccagni has scored two goals in his last two games in Serie A TIM, as many as in his previous 51 appearances; the only Verona midfielder to find the net (penalties excluded) in three Serie A TIM matches in a row was Domenico Morfeo back in 2000 (considering only the three points per win era). 13/12/2020 12:30 - SARDEGNA ARENA CAGLIARI Vs INTER Inter have won six of their last nine Serie A TIM matches against Cagliari (D1 L2), scoring 21 goals (2.3 per match on average). Cagliari have conceded more goals against Inter in Serie A TIM (134) than against any other team; in addition, only against Sampdoria (30) have Cagliari drawn more matches in the Italian top-flight than against Inter (28). Since 2015, only against Napoli (5/5), have Cagliari lost more home matches in Serie A TIM than against Inter (4/5). Cagliari have scored 17 goals in the current league season: in their history in Serie A TIM, only once have they netted more after the first 10 seasonal matches (23 in 1968/69, when they finished the season in second place). The next goal will be the 5000th goal for Inter in their history in Serie A TIM (including awarded matches): 91 years and 68 days after their first in the competition, scored by Enrico Rivolta in October 1929 against Livorno. Inter have made the most crosses in open play in Serie A TIM this season (165) but they have scored only three of their 26 total goals in the current league season following a cross. Cagliari are Lautaro Martínez's favorite target in Serie A TIM: four goals in four matches (scoring in each game against them), all curiously scored with a header (in total he has netted seven headed goals in Serie A TIM).
