Benevento
- Benevento have lost 3 of their last 5 matches (W1, D1, L3).
- Benevento have taken just 1 point from 3 games to sit 17th in Serie B 2026-2027, so the pressure is already on the hosts and their coach Antonio Floro Flores.
- Floro Flores is likely to set up Benevento in a pragmatic 4-2-3-1 that offers his side a chance to block up, transition quickly on the counter and man-mark in a disciplined fashion.
- Benevento have failed to win either of their home games so far, conceding 3.
Hellas Verona
- Hellas Verona have won 3 of their last 5 (W3, D1, L1), including the last two.
- The Gialloblù are 10th in the table with 4 points from 3 games and Verona look the best placed team on the pitch when Benevento and their visitors clash in Italy this Friday.
- Verona, who have looked more polished under Marco Baroni this term, play with a back-four structure and set up in a way that allows them to press selectively, rather than in an all-out pressing manner.
- Verona have scored and conceded an average of 1.00 on the road in Serie B 2026-2027.
Key Players
- Francesco Paolo Salvemini is Benevento's sharpest finisher and Benevento's Serie B 2026-2027 leading scorer with 2 goals in 3 games, but Verona have Salvatore Cerbone, who is also on 2 in 3 Serie B 2026-2027 appearances.
- Mattia Maita is the controlling figure in midfield for Benevento, providing an extra dimension of control and creativity with 1 assist in 3 Serie B 2026-2027 games so far.
Betting Insights
- Backing Verona to win at 2.2 looks the best option here, with Benevento and the draw both 3.25.
- But under 2.5 goals at 1.7 looks the better fit in terms of the likely outcome, as this matchup of compact systems appears more likely to be a chess match than a shootout.
Prediction
Under 2.5 goals looks likelier, with Verona the side to back at 2.2 .
