The third place in the ranking, confirmed after the ruling of the Coni Guarantee Board, will give various advantages to the Benevento play-off key. The Strega will not only be able to play the return match at home, but above all they will be able to obtain qualification even with two draws: this is because in the event of a tie in the score, extra time and penalties will not be played, but whoever will advance to the next round will achieved the best placing in the regular season.
To find out the possible challengers of the Giallorossi we will have to wait, given that the pairings with the seeded teams will be defined through the draw. However, one thing is certain: in the first round Benevento will not be able to face the other seeded teams, i.e. the third-placed teams from the other two groups (therefore Vicenza And Carrarese), the winner of the Serie C Italian Cup, i.e. the Catania, in addition to the best fourth which will be there Casertana if he manages to get through (otherwise, he will become seeded there Triestina).
This means that at this moment the group of possible opponents of the Witch is made up of 18 teams: a large list that includes Atalanta Under 23, Trento, Legnago Salus, Lumezzane, Gubbio, Rimini, Pescara, Pontedera, Juventus Next Gen, Arezzo, Taranto, Latina, Picerno, Crotone, Audace Cerignola, Giugliano, Triestina and Perugia.
