Previous Results:
At the first meeting in Serie A this season, on week 9, Juventus were only able to win a 1-1 draw at home to Benevento.
Juventus took the lead through Alvaro Morata's goal in the 21st minute, and Benevento responded through Gaetano Letizia's goal in the 45th minute. Juventus lost Morata who was red-carded in the 90 + 7 minute.
In their last home match against Benevento in Serie A, in the 2017/18 season, which was also their first meeting in Italy's top league, Juventus won 2-1.
Having fallen behind by Amato Ciciretti's goal in the 19 minutes, Juventus turned to win through goals from Gonzalo Higuain in 57 minutes and Juan Cuadrado in 65 minutes.
Juventus:
The Bianconeri have a chance to erode 10 points from the top of the Serie A standings this weekend because the Inter Milan match against Sassuolo has been postponed due to the COVID-19 cluster that occurred in Antonio Conte's squad.
The failure in the Champions League has left a bitter taste in the mouth of the Old Lady. They reached the final of the Coppa Italia, but perhaps only winning Serie A saved the public's assessment of the achievements of Andrea Pirlo's team this season.

In general, Juventus are in brilliant form, as they beat Cagliari with a Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick last week, extending their unbeaten streak to six straight matches in all competitions.
In Juventus vs Benevento Serie A Round 28,Juventus Looking for another win at home
In last week's 3-1 win in Sardinia, Pirlo went down to his usual 4-4-2 formation, but fielded an unusual line-up, with Dejan Kulusevski filling the right-wing post.
He is expected to make another appearance there, but Danilo, who played as a defensive midfielder in that match, will be shifted to the right-back post as Juan Cuadrado will miss due to sanctions.
Alex Sandro had to be pulled out due to a muscle injury in the middle of the match and will miss this weekend.
So, Federico Bernardeschi, who was his replacement at that time, will again appear as a left-back.
Benevento:
On the other hand, Benevento is currently slumped to 16th in the standings with only four points from the relegation zone due to having lost three defeats in the last four matches in Serie A.
Coach Filippo Inzaghi is still troubled by the injury problems of Iago Falque and Gaetano Letizia, while Kamil Glik will undergo sanctions with Pasquale Schiattarella.
