Benevento vs Hellas Verona 11 September 2026 Prediction

  Prediction by   Gevorg Danielyan     September 9, 2026 

Benevento have made a poor start to the new Serie B season, failing to win any of their opening matches. Verona, meanwhile, recorded a comfortable 5-0 victory over Arezzo last time out. The visitors appear to be the stronger side, but Benevento will look to make home advantage count.

Benevento

Antonio Floro Flores' team have conceded 11 goals in their last five matches across all competitions, including defeats to Ascoli (0-1), Modena (1-2), and Fiorentina (1-4). Their holding midfield has struggled under pressure. Large gaps between the lines regularly leave the defenders exposed and lead to fouls around the penalty area.

Benevento have struggled on the road, but their home record is more respectable: one win, one draw, and one defeat with a combined score of 7-6. They try to control possession and use the flanks to move the ball into the box. However, turnovers can leave them out of position, which more disciplined opponents have exploited.

Verona

Verona have one win, one draw, and one defeat in league play, along with two victories in the Coppa Italia. Marco Baroni's team have scored 11 goals in those matches, including a 5-0 win over Arezzo and a 2-1 victory against Cagliari. Verona are one of the league's most aggressive pressing teams, with their midfield pushing high to force mistakes.

The three attacking midfielders regularly switch positions, creating openings for the fullbacks. Verona's high press and quick attacking transitions can be effective against vulnerable defenses. That aggressive approach also carries risk. If an opponent breaks the press quickly, there is often space to attack.

Team News

Antonio Prisco's suspension is a major setback for Benevento. The midfielder plays a key role in the center of the field. Antonis Siatounis is expected to replace him, although his lack of recent playing time could affect the team's stability in that area.

Verona will be without Caleb Ekuban, whose injury has delayed his integration following his recent move. Forward Daniel Mosquera is also doubtful. Samuele Mulattieri provides a reliable option up front, having scored three goals in his last four matches. Suat Serdar remains sidelined with an ACL injury, further limiting the midfield rotation.

Benevento vs Verona Prediction: Verona to Win

Main prediction: Benevento have lost three of their last four matches across all competitions, and Prisco's suspension further weakens their midfield. Verona enter this game after a convincing win and have the quality to exploit the hosts' defensive issues. Baroni's more balanced team should create enough chances to take all three points. Verona to win at odds of 2.60. We estimate the probability at 43%, making any price above 2.32 worth considering.

Goals prediction: Benevento have conceded 11 goals in five matches across all competitions, while Verona have scored 11 over the same span. Benevento have found the net in every game this season, and Verona have kept only one clean sheet. Over 2.5 goals at odds of 2.07. We estimate the probability at 55%, making any price above 1.81 worth considering.
