Analysis & Preview
A Serie B encounter, Regular Season - 13 sees Empoli travel to Stadio Ciro Vigorito to take on Benevento. The game is scheduled for Tuesday 24 November 2026, 14:00 UTC.
Form Analysis
Looking at all fixtures this season, Benevento stand at 0W 1D 2L from 3 Serie B matches — 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.
Empoli — All Games: 4W 2D 4L from 10 Serie B fixtures this season — 1.40 PPG. Last five: W D W L W. Their scoring rate of 1.10 per game is modest, conceding 1.20 — 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. Empoli 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, Empoli have gone 1W 3D 6L from 10 away fixtures this term (0.60 PPG). Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 1.70 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context. Their away PPG of 0.60 is notably below their overall 1.40 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.
The form data does not support a straightforward home bias here. Empoli are 1.07 PPG ahead (1.40 vs 0.33), making them the form-guided selection despite the trip.
The BTTS market is worth targeting here. Benevento register both teams scoring in 67% of relevant matches, Empoli in 60% (using overall form) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.
Trading Patterns
Benevento in-play and half-time data (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.
Empoli in-play and half-time data (3 games): they score before half-time in 33% of fixtures; BTTS occurs in 33% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 33% of games; they keep a clean sheet 67% of the time.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Benevento 67% versus Empoli 33%; no strong lean in either direction. Under 2.5 goals has backing from the in-play data — both teams register low Over 2.5 rates (Benevento 33% | Empoli 33%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Benevento 1.22 xG and Empoli 1.26 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 | Empoli attack 0.933 / defence 1.043. League average goals — home 1.391 / away 1.158. Data: 3 Benevento games / 41 Empoli games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Benevento 35% | Draw 27% | Empoli 37%. Fair-value odds: Benevento 2.86 | Draw 3.70 | Empoli 2.70. 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 45% | BTTS probability 50% | Total xG 2.48. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 55% — total xG of 2.48 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 50% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Analysis Verdict
On the Poisson output, Empoli are the pick at 37% — marginal model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Empoli offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 35% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
Poisson projects 2.48 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 45% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 50%. Form rates corroborate: Benevento 67% | Empoli 60% BTTS from recent games.
The outsider holds a 35% 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.

🧮 Model Insight
Model Mechanics
The model rates Benevento's attack at 0.84x the league average against Empoli's defence at 1.04x — combine the two and it projects 1.22 expected goals for the hosts. The same calculation in reverse, Empoli's attack versus Benevento's defence, projects 1.26 expected goals for the visitors.
These ratings are built from 3/41 games of current-season data — a full enough sample to trust.
Scoreline Breakdown
