Benevento U19 vs Salernitana U19 - Campionato Primavera - 2

A fascinating Campionato Primavera - 2 chapter awaits on April 4, 2026 when Benevento U19 take on Salernitana U19 at the home ground — two sides with plenty to play for and everything to prove. Tottenham face Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday.

Both Benevento U19 and Salernitana U19 will be eager to build momentum when they meet in Campionato Primavera - 2. It has been a solid if unspectacular run for the hosts — LW across their last five with a win rate of 50% — and they will want to push on from here. The visitors have been enduring a wretched campaign, LL in their last five and a season win rate of just 0% that leaves them deep in trouble. Where Benevento U19 have built their campaign on solidity, Salernitana U19 have often chased flair, and that fundamental difference should make for compelling viewing. Larson’s long-term plans have attracted renewed attention following teammate Alex Bowman’s recent announcement that he intends to retire from full-time Cup Series competition at the end of the 2027 season.

How the two sides approach the contest strategically will be key. Benevento U19 will want to control proceedings in front of their own supporters, while Salernitana U19 will back themselves to cause problems on the break. Chelsea have been encouraged to consider a surprise move for Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana, with former Red Devils midfielder Quinton Fortune believing the Cameroon international could suit their style of football.

Neither side is short on individuals capable of tilting the balance, and the duel between the two squads' chief creators could prove particularly pivotal. The battle in midfield, where both sides look to control tempo, could prove the decisive arena. The midfielder is yet to make his debut for the club since completing a move from Brighton.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. With the sides so closely matched, a 2-2 stalemate looks the most likely way this one ends. With positions in the Campionato Primavera - 2 table to defend and momentum to chase, neither side can afford to leave anything in the tank. And Fonseca does not place too much weight on the decision of Roberto Martinez to omit him from the World Cup squad in favour of his Benfica team-mate Tomas Araujo.
