We are heading towards the end of the season in Serie B. Benevento Calcio are already the league champions, while the rest of the teams in top 8 are still fighting for promotion.

Frosinone - Benevento Calcio

This Friday, Frosinone host the league leaders at their Stadio Benito Stirpe.

The home side will try to close the distance to the second placed team of FC Crotone. Benevento Calcio have already won the champions title, due to their hefty lead on top of the table.

• In their last 17 home games in Serie B, Frosinone have recorded 14 undefeated encounters.
• Benevento Calcio have failed to score in their last 3 away matches in Serie B.
• Under 2.5 goals have been scored in 12 of Frosinone's last 15 matches in Serie B.
• Benevento Calcio have been conceding 0.63 goals on average in their games (Serie B).
• Prediction: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.69

Chievo - Cittadella

In this round of fixtures, Cittadella will travel to Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi to face the team of Chievo.

The away side are experiencing some difficulties lately, as they have lost 4 of their last 6 fixtures. Chievo, on the other hand, will be striving for a spot in top 8, which would give them a chance for promotion in Serie A.

• In their last 8 home matches of Serie B, Chievo achieved a total of 4 wins by 2+ goals.
• Cittadella are on a run of 4 consecutive defeats in their domestic league.
• Chievo have won just 1 of their last 7 league games.
• In their 5 most recent matches of Serie B, Cittadella have suffered 3 losses by 2+ goals.
• Prediction: Draw @ 3.00

Salernitana - Empoli FC

Another rather tense encounter will be held this Friday, when Salernitana host Empoli FC at their Stadio Arechi.

Both teams are experiencing a dip in form after their poor recent performance. The home side are just 3 points ahead of their opponents, so expect an action-packed evening clash.

• Salernitana have not been beaten in their last 15 straight home clashes in Serie B.
• Empoli FC have won just 2 of their last 6 fixtures in Serie B.
• Salernitana haven't suffered any defeats in 7 of their 8 most recent meetings with Empoli FC in Serie B.
• Salernitana have achieved 8 wins in their last 10 home games of their Serie B season.
• Prediction: Draw @ 3.20

Venezia FC - Juve Stabia

Juve Stabia will be hoping to escape from the relegation zone, when they face the team of Venezia FC.

Both sides have been performing quite dreadfully throughout the season and now they are threatened with relegation. The home side are just above the relegation zone, but their fragile lead of just 3 points over Juve Stabia, surely isn’t enough for them to feel safe.

• In their last 11 home games in Serie B, Venezia FC have recorded only 1 wins.
• Juve Stabia have suffered 5 defeats in their 6 most recent away matches in Serie B.
• Venezia FC have not been beaten in 6 of their 7 most recent matches in Serie B.
• Juve Stabia's performance has been disappointing of late, as they have won just 1 of their 13 most recent away Serie B clashes.
• Prediction: Juve Stabia @ 3.40
