Benevento welcome Verona to the Vigorito with both sides sitting far apart in form despite a tight table after just three rounds. Benevento have picked up a single point so far and sit 18th, while Verona have shown flashes of quality and hold 10th spot with four points. The gap on paper is smaller than the gap in confidence right now, and that contrast is what makes this one worth a closer look.
Francesco Salvemini has carried Benevento’s attack almost single-handedly, scoring twice in his last four appearances despite the team’s struggles. On the other side, Samuele Mulattieri has been Verona’s most productive midfield-forward hybrid, netting three times in five matches while racking up over 340 minutes. Both players deserve close attention from punters building same-game combos.
Hot stat: Verona have scored 11 goals across their last five matches, more than triple Benevento’s tally of just three in the same span. That gap tells most of the story heading into Friday’s fixture.

Benevento vs Verona prediction
We predict Verona to edge this one, though perhaps not by the wide margin the goal difference suggests. Benevento have won just once in their last five outings and have leaked goals against sides of similar or lower quality, including a 1-2 loss at home to Modena. Verona, on the other hand, have scored freely and their 5-0 demolition of Arezzo shows the attacking depth this squad carries.
Benevento average 50 fouls and 29 corners across their last five games with a pass accuracy sitting under 87%, numbers that point to a side struggling for control in midfield. Verona post higher fouls too, at 77, but their shot count of 78 against Benevento’s 59 shows a team that dominates territory and creates chances more consistently. That combination of Verona’s control and Benevento’s leaky defense favors goals at both ends, but tilted heavily toward the away side.

Team Analysis
Benevento’s home form has been shaky all season, and their most recent result against Ascoli sums up the problem well. A 0-1 defeat left them without a home win in their opening matches, and their defense conceded again despite limited pressure from the opponent. The draw with SudTirol before that offered a rare bright spot, but the 1-2 loss to Modena and the heavy 1-4 defeat to Fiorentina expose a backline that struggles against organized attacks. The 5-3 win over Ravenna remains their only real high point this campaign, and it came against a side sitting near the bottom too.
Verona arrive in noticeably better shape. Their last match, a 5-0 rout of Arezzo, showed exactly what this squad can do when Sarr and Mulattieri get service from midfield. Before that, a 2-1 win over Cagliari and a battling 1-1 draw with Padova kept the momentum going. The 1-2 loss to Ascoli is the only blemish in this stretch, and even the 2-2 draw with Entella came with Verona controlling large spells of possession. This is a team peaking at the right time.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Verona the favourite
- Moneyline Benevento 2.75 | Verona 2.45
- Draw 3.20
The market leans toward Verona without fully backing them, and that hesitation makes sense given Benevento’s home advantage and the unpredictability of early-season Serie B form. To be honest, we think the away price offers fair value given the goal difference and attacking numbers Verona have shown, but the draw odds shouldn’t be ignored either given how tight this league has looked through three rounds.
Possible Starting Lineups
Benevento possible starting eleven
- GK: Gianmarco Vannucchi
- DF: Stefano Scognamillo, Pietro Beruatto, Pietro Saio, Luca Caldirola
- MF: Mattia Maita, Antonio Prisco, Leonardo Sernicola, Angelo Talia, Davide Lamesta
- FW: Francesco Salvemini
Floro Flores looks set to stick with his 4-2-3-1, leaning on Maita and Prisco to shield the back four while Lamesta drifts wide to support Salvemini up top. Scognamillo’s near-full minutes tally makes him the clear anchor of this defense, and Salvemini remains the player Benevento fans should watch given his two goals already this term.
Verona possible starting eleven
- GK: Nicola Leali
- DF: Andrias Edmundsson, Domagoj Bradaric, Seid Korac, Nicolo Calabrese
- MF: Abdou Harroui, Antoine Bernede, Grigoris Kastanos, andrea le borgne, Samuele Mulattieri
- FW: Amin Sarr
Baroni’s 4-2-3-1 gives Harroui and Bernede the defensive midfield duties while Mulattieri pushes forward alongside Kastanos and le borgne. Sarr leads the line with 351 minutes played and two goals, making him the man to watch alongside Mulattieri’s late-arriving runs into the box.

The Verdict
We predict Verona to win this one, likely by a single-goal margin given Benevento’s tendency to keep games close despite their poor results. Verona’s attacking numbers, particularly the 11 goals scored across their last five matches compared to Benevento’s three, back up the case for backing the away side and the over on goals. Benevento’s home crowd could spark a spirited display, but the gap in quality through midfield and attack should tell in the end. Our punters team leans toward Verona Draw No Bet combined with Over 2.5 goals as the smartest way to attack this fixture.
