General match analysis

Benevento display a much stronger home record — 88% wins at home, 2.38 goals per match and only 0.56 conceded. The hosts have higher xG (2.07 vs 1.30) and more shots and SoT, suggesting superiority in chance creation. Cosenza have decent recent form but lower away efficiency (1.06 goals per match, 31% FTS) and weaker defensive metrics on the road. The difference in attacking quality and defensive stability plus home advantage favor Benevento. I therefore predict a home victory with moderate draw probability and low chance of an away win.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

Both teams have high season BTTS (Benevento 59%, Cosenza 56%), above league 50%, indicating propensity for both sides to score. Benevento possess a strong attack (2.12 g/m, xG 1.57, high conversion 17%) but concede ~1.0 and have low CS (29%), increasing concession risk. Cosenza are in good scoring form last5 (2.4 g/m, last5 BTTS 80%) and score regularly across opponents. Although Benevento's last5 BTTS was lower (40%) with a tighter defense, xG, shots and overall stats suggest goals for both sides. Recommendation: BTTS = Yes with moderate edge.

Over/Under - goals analysis

Benevento shows strong attacking potential (2.12 goals avg, xG 1.57) while Cosenza posts decent xG (1.30) and both often feature BTTS (59% and 56%). xG against (home conceded 1.23, away conceded 1.35) imply combined expected goals ~2.73, which strongly supports >1.5. Season Over1.5 rates (82% Benevento, 69% Cosenza) further boost Over 1.5. Over2.5 is moderately likely due to Benevento’s efficiency but less certain than Over 1.5. Over3.5 looks unlikely given expected 2.73 xG and lower season percentages for that line.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

Benevento is clearly stronger in seasonal scoring averages (2.12 vs 1.06) and win percentage (76% vs 25%), but matches are often level at half-time (drawingAtHTPercentage_home 47%). The data show a distinct Benevento second-half edge — a high share of goals after the break (notably 46–60 and 76–90) and wins_2hg_percentage_home 65%, indicating comebacks after HT. Cosenza is more likely to concede in the second half and has lower xG and efficiency, increasing the chances of a home win at FT. The HT draw → FT Benevento win combination (X/1) appears the strongest signal from the stats.
