Pre-Match Analysis

Benevento and Avellino meet at Stadio Ciro Vigorito in Serie B, Regular Season - 11. This fixture gets under way on Saturday 7 November 2026 at 18:30 UTC.

Form

Benevento (all games): 3W 2D 2L across 7 Serie B fixtures this term — 1.57 PPG. Last five: L W W W D. They are averaging 1.43 goals per game and conceding 1.00 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 7 outings provides some defensive foundation. Benevento have played only a handful of Serie B games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Avellino have collected 1.40 PPG across 10 Serie B outings this season: 4W 2D 4L. Last five: W D L W D. Their scoring rate of 1.30 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. Avellino 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, Avellino have gone 3W 1D 6L from 10 away fixtures this term (1.00 PPG). Away from home they average 0.80 goals scored and 1.70 conceded per game.

Both sides are running at similar form levels — 1.57 PPG for Benevento against 1.40 for Avellino. There is no clear form edge to exploit here; other signals need to take the lead.

Trading Data

Benevento goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (7 games, 3 at home): they score before half-time in 57% of fixtures; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; when winning at HT they fail to see it out 29% of the time; BTTS occurs in 57% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 43% of games.

Avellino goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (7 games, 3 at away): they score before half-time in 71% of fixtures; they lead at the break 71% of the time; when winning at HT they fail to see it out 29% of the time; BTTS occurs in 71% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 57% of games.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Benevento 57% and Avellino 71% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Benevento 43% | Avellino 57%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Benevento 1.41 xG and Avellino 1.19 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 1.034 / defence 1.073 | Avellino attack 0.881 / defence 1.007. League average goals — home 1.353 / away 1.261. Data: 7 Benevento games / 45 Avellino games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Benevento 40% | Draw 29% | Avellino 30%. Fair-value odds: Benevento 2.50 | Draw 3.45 | Avellino 3.33. 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 48% | BTTS probability 54% | Total xG 2.60. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 48%/52% — the total xG of 2.60 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 54% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Benevento are the pick at 40% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 29% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Benevento if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 30% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.60 combined xG gives a 48% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 54%. Form rates corroborate: Benevento 80% | Avellino 40% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 30% 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.
