This will be the first Serie A meeting between these two sides. The only previous meeting came in the Coppa Italia in 2008/09 (Lazio won 5-1).
 
Lazio have failed to win three of their last four meetings against newly-promoted teams (D2 L1).
 
This is Lazio’s best ever start to a Serie A season, with 26 goals scored and 25 points won after the first 10 match-days.
 
Lazio have won their last five Serie A fixtures, while the last time they recorded six wins in a row in the competition was in April 2015.
 
Benevento have scored only three goals so far this term – only Empoli (2016/17) and Mantova (1964/65) had previously netted fewer after the first 10 match-days of a Serie A campaign.
 
Lazio have scored five goals via their defenders in Serie A this term – a league-high figure.
 
Last Wednesday against Bologna, Ciro Immobile missed the first penalty of his 12 taken so far for Lazio in Serie A. Prior to this game, he had netted seven goals in his last four away games this term.
