Serie B: Benevento host Como in what promises to be an engaging football game. Tipsway gives you a thorough preview!

Insights:
  • Benevento have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Como have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

These teams have little in common geographically as Como have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

It's no vacation for neither Benevento nor Como as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Benevento form and stats

Benevento have played 12 Serie B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-3-3 (wins-draws-losses).

A good away victory last time out for Benevento, who won 1-0 against Cittadella (placed 10th). The goalie Paleari was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.04 out of ten. Paleari topped it up with a clean sheet.

Preceding that match was the home game against Ascoli that was lost 0-2.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Benevento have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won six times, drawn two and lost two.

There will be little rest for Benevento after this match as they are travelling to Perugia for a Serie B game in only three days.

Benevento have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Stadio Ciro Vigorito with 21 goals in 12 league matches. Benevento's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 13 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Como form and stats

4-5-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Como in their Serie B matches away.

Como won their last game, 2-1 versus Cosenza played at home. Ioannou, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.13. Ioannou served one assist, hit two key passes and won 8 of 10 duels.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Frosinone with the score of 2-1.

Como are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, four draws and three defeats. From a total of ten matches.

A new game in only three days for Como, the Serie B home match versus Brescia. Busy days.

Como are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 18 times in 12 away games so far. In the opposite end, Como have conceded 18 goals in their away games.

Como - Benevento 1-1 was the end result in these participants' latest H2H fixture, played this season. H2H stats regardless of arena (last three matches): Benevento one win, one draw and Como one victory. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less. The games between these sides have had a tendency to be hostile, having seen 4 red cards from the last three duels.
