Analysis

Sudtirol make the trip to Stadio Romeo Menti to face Vicenza Virtus in Serie B, Regular Season - 18. The match kicks off on Saturday 19 December 2026 at 14:00 UTC.

Form

Vicenza Virtus (all games): 2W 3D 5L across 10 Serie B fixtures this term — 0.90 PPG. Last five: L D W L L. They are averaging 1.30 goals per game and conceding 2.00 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. However, 2.00 goals conceded per game is a concern — opposing attacks have exploited them regularly. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. This season is still relatively young for Vicenza Virtus, so this record blends games from this season and last.

At home at Stadio Romeo Menti, Vicenza Virtus have gone 1W 1D 2L this season (4 games, 1.00 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.25 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 75% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.

Sudtirol have collected 1.40 PPG across 10 Serie B outings this season: 3W 5D 2L. Last five: D L D L D. Their scoring rate of 1.10 per game is modest, conceding 1.00 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. This season is still relatively young for Sudtirol, so this record blends games from this season and last.

On the road, Sudtirol have gone 2W 3D 5L from 10 away fixtures this term (0.90 PPG). Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 1.80 conceded per game.

Both sides are running at similar form levels — 0.90 PPG for Vicenza Virtus against 1.40 for Sudtirol. There is no clear form edge to exploit here; other signals need to take the lead.

Trading & In-Play

Vicenza Virtus — key trading statistics (10 games, 4 at home): they score before half-time in 75% of fixtures in home games; BTTS occurs in 75% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 75% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 40%.

Sudtirol — key trading statistics (10 games, 4 at away): they score before half-time in 75% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (away games); they fail to score in 30% of games.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Vicenza Virtus 70% and Sudtirol 50% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Vicenza Virtus 80% | Sudtirol 20%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Vicenza Virtus 1.43 xG and Sudtirol 1.51 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: Vicenza Virtus attack 0.842 / defence 1.341 | Sudtirol attack 0.912 / defence 1.290. League average goals — home 1.312 / away 1.232. Sudtirol bring a strong defensive rating of 1.290 — this is suppressing Vicenza Virtus's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 10 Vicenza Virtus games / 48 Sudtirol games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Vicenza Virtus 34% | Draw 28% | Sudtirol 38%. Fair-value odds: Vicenza Virtus 2.94 | Draw 3.57 | Sudtirol 2.63. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 28% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 56% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 2.93. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.93 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% reflects that both xG figures (1.43 / 1.51) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Sudtirol are the pick at 38% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 28% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Sudtirol 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 2.93 combined xG gives a 56% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.2 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 61%. Form rates corroborate: Vicenza Virtus 75% | Sudtirol 50% BTTS from recent games.

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.
