Fixture Analysis

It is a Serie B clash, Regular Season - 27 as Pisa welcome Benevento to Arena Garibaldi - Stadio Romeo Anconetani. Kick-off is set for Saturday 27 February 2027 at 14:00 UTC.

Recent Form

Across all Serie B games this season, Pisa have gone 2W 1D 7L from 10 outings — a 0.70 PPG return. Last five: L W W L D. They are averaging 1.00 goals per game and conceding 1.90 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Pisa have played only a handful of Serie B games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

At home at Arena Garibaldi - Stadio Romeo Anconetani, Pisa have gone 2W 0D 8L this season (10 games, 0.60 PPG). At home they are averaging 0.90 goals scored and 1.80 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.

Looking at all fixtures this season, Benevento stand at 2W 1D 2L from 5 Serie B matches — 1.40 PPG. Last five: L D L W W. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.00 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 1 clean sheet from 5 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. Benevento have played only a handful of Serie B games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Form points away from home here. Benevento's 1.40 PPG return is 0.70 points per game ahead of Pisa's 0.70 — the visitors are the form-based selection, and Double Chance is an alternative worth pricing if the outright looks tight.

The BTTS market is worth targeting here. Pisa register both teams scoring in 60% of relevant matches, Benevento in 60% (using overall form) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.

H2H Record

There is little to separate the sides historically. From 6 previous meetings, Pisa have won 3, Benevento 2, with 1 draws — a balanced ledger that offers no obvious directional steer on its own.

The 6 previous meetings have averaged 1.8 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 18 Mar 2023, ended 2–0 with Pisa winning.

The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.

Trading Patterns

Pisa in-play and half-time data (5 games): they score before half-time in 80% of fixtures; BTTS occurs in 60% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 80% of games; Over 3.5 in 40%.

Benevento in-play and half-time data (5 games): they score before half-time in 40% of fixtures; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; BTTS occurs in 60% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 40% of games.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Pisa 60% and Benevento 60% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Pisa 80% | Benevento 40%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Pisa 0.99 xG and Benevento 1.22 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: Pisa attack 0.786 / defence 1.414 | Benevento attack 0.727 / defence 0.921. League average goals — home 1.366 / away 1.185. Pisa's attack strength of 0.786 is below the league average — the 0.99 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 5 Pisa games / 5 Benevento games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Pisa 30% | Draw 29% | Benevento 41%. Fair-value odds: Pisa 3.33 | Draw 3.45 | Benevento 2.44. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 29% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 38% | BTTS probability 44% | Total xG 2.21. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 62% — total xG of 2.21 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 44% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Benevento at 41% — marginal model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 29% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Benevento offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 30% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.21 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 38% — reasonable confidence, supported by H2H averaging 1.8 goals per meeting.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 44% on No. This conflicts with form data: Pisa 60% | Benevento 60% from recent games — a notable divergence.
