Stadio Ciro Vigorito plays host to Benevento versus Hellas Verona in Serie B, Regular Season - 4. Kick-off: Friday 11 September 2026 at 19:00 UTC.

Current Form

Benevento's overall Serie B record this term: 0W 1D 2L from 3 games (0.33 PPG). Last five: L D L. They are averaging 0.67 goals per game and conceding 1.33 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. Both teams have scored in 67% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. Benevento have played only a handful of Serie B games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Hellas Verona (all games): 1W 4D 5L across 10 Serie B outings this term — 0.70 points per game. Last five: D L L D W. Their scoring rate of 1.00 per game is modest, conceding 1.10 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Hellas Verona have played only a handful of Serie B games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

On the road, Hellas Verona have gone 1W 4D 5L from 10 away fixtures this term (0.70 PPG). Away from home they average 0.70 goals scored and 1.60 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.

A near-identical PPG reading — 0.33 for Benevento, 0.70 for Hellas Verona — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.

In terms of goals, both squads have been finding the net consistently (using overall form) — Benevento have seen both teams score in 67% of their games, Hellas Verona in 60%. That combined rate is a strong statistical case for BTTS Yes as a standalone play.

Trading Data

Benevento goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (3 games): they score before half-time in 33% of fixtures; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 33% of games; they fail to score in 33% of games.

Hellas Verona goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (3 games): they score before half-time in 67% of fixtures; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Benevento 67% and Hellas Verona 67% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Benevento 33% | Hellas Verona 67%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Benevento 1.27 xG and Hellas Verona 1.16 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Benevento attack 0.840 / defence 1.168 | Hellas Verona attack 0.858 / defence 1.086. League average goals — home 1.391 / away 1.158. Data: 3 Benevento games / 3 Hellas Verona games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Benevento 39% | Draw 27% | Hellas Verona 34%. Fair-value odds: Benevento 2.56 | Draw 3.70 | Hellas Verona 2.94. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 27% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 44% | BTTS probability 49% | Total xG 2.43. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 56% — total xG of 2.43 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 49% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Benevento as the most likely outcome at 39% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Benevento if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.43 combined xG gives a 44% probability to Under 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 2.1 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 49%. This conflicts with form data: Benevento 67% | Hellas Verona 60% from recent games — a notable divergence.

The outsider holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
