H2H: Verona vs Benevento - Prediction (Serie A

H2H: Verona vs Benevento – Comparison.

Verona’s Ronaldo Vieira is coming off a Coppa Italia goal during extra-time that forced penalties. Gianluca Caprari has been Benevento’s first scorer in both of his goalscoring SA games, each time seeing his side eventually lose 5-2! In the calendar year of 2020, only Spanish club Celta Vigo (14) have drawn more league games than Verona (11) in the top-five European leagues.

Verona Insights.

After drawing their last two Serie A (SA) games, Verona could draw three in a row in top-flight football for the first time since January 2016. However, Verona have won three of their last four SA games against newly promoted sides. Many expect a low-scoring affair in any case, as Verona’s last four SA games have produced under 2.5 total goals. The home side on the day has kept a clean sheet in all but one of Verona’s five SA games, and similarly, the home side on the day has won each of the last two SA H2Hs with a clean sheet. Verona have also kept a clean sheet in each of their last four SA home games – only twice in their history (Nov 1971 & May 1989) have they had a longer such run.

Benevento Insights.

Benevento have the potential to shock, scoring for five SA games in a row, and targeting six in a row for the first time ever. Notably, four of Benevento’s five SA games have produced over 2.5 total goals; three of those finished with over 4.5 goals, with Benevento conceding 2+ goals before HT each time. Goals remain a theme on the road too, as Benevento’s two SA away matches (W1, L1) have aggregated 12 total match goals, each time witnessing Benevento trail 2-1 at HT.
