Analysis

Our model puts a Benevento win at 52.1% in this Serie B fixture — a moderate lean. Expected goals run 1.61 to 0.97.

What this probability has been worth

A number is worth what it has been worth. Across 1,941 predictions published before kick-off and scored against the result afterwards, the calls we priced between 45% and 55% came in 47% of the time — 596 fixtures in that band. The model claimed 49.5%, so the two are within 2.5 points of each other. In this range the stated probability has meant roughly what it says.

Benevento are on a run

Benevento arrive on 3 straight wins, part of 3 matches unbeaten. Form of that length moves our rating on its own, so it is already reflected in the numbers above rather than being an argument on top of them.

Benevento are off their season peak

Benevento peaked at 1500 this season and sit at 1440 today, 60 points below their own best. Measuring a side against itself rather than against the table is often the earlier signal, and it is not visible in a league position.

Finding the target

Benevento struggles to hit the target: 26.9% of their shots are on goal over their last matches. The average across the sides we have figures for is 34.1%. Accuracy is not the same as scoring — it says how much of a side's shooting is worth a goalkeeper's attention, which is the part that does not swing as wildly from week to week as goals do.

How often they shoot

Benevento take 15.5 shots a match against an average of 11.9. Volume like that usually means territory rather than precision, and it is why a side can dominate a match and still not win it.
