Bolzano are coming into this match in better form
Benevento are 14th on the ladder with 0 points from 1 game and Sudtirol are 9th with 3 points in Serie B 2026/2027 after a sharper opening day. Biancorossi look much the likelier victor on current form and the standings but the market is right to favor a narrow away win in this one.
They have won their last 2, most recently in the 1-0 home victory over ACD Virtus Entella in Serie B 2026/2027. The Biancorossi have also been better on the road than their home form might suggest, winning 1 and drawing 1 of their previous 2 games away across all current competitions.
- Davide Lamesta has been a real spark for Benevento, scoring 4 goals in their last 5-game run.
- La Strega have scored 11 goals across their previous 5 but their 4-1 away defeat to AC Fiorentina shows how vulnerable they can be defensively.
- Davide Possanzini has Sudtirol treading a different path to the other teams in Serie B 2026/2027, creating a model that is more proactive with the ball, pressing high and creating space for their faster players to run through the defense at pace.
Expect a chess match in this matchup
Tactical setup:
Antonio Floro Flores has Benevento set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, where they control the ball and are patient. They have the width and creativity in the right places and they are very good in transition. Francesco Paolo Salvemini will be their main finishing threat in this game, having already netted 1 goal in 1 appearance in Serie B 2026/2027.
Prediction and betting:
On the other hand, Sudtirol will look to play a more proactive, possession-heavy style with higher pressing and quicker vertical bursts. This should be a chess game. Sudtirol have the form edge and will be the likelier winner on Sunday but the game isn't likely to be a thriller, the away win will be hard-earned, so we're on the Under 2.5 goals at 1.49 and Both Teams to Score – NO at 1.67.
Head-to-head:
In the head-to-head, Sudtirol have the edge having beaten Benevento 2-0 away from home in Serie B 2022/2023. Benevento have yet to win at home in Serie B 2026/2027, with 0 wins and 1 loss in their only home fixture so far.
