Spezia - Benevento betting tips and odds

The online bookies marked Spezia as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Benevento winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

The 3.60 away win betting odds indicate that Benevento are the underdogs of this matchup. The difference is not huge, though, so both a victory for the visitors and are draw are still on the table.

Spezia’s victory was priced at around 13.00 in the previous round, so the 3:0 defeat at the hands of Juventus wasn’t much of a surprise. They managed to put up a decent fight in the first half, though, despite the home-field disadvantage and overwhelming odds against them.

Benevento’s defeat in their previous home game was painful due to the crushing 0:3 final score, but it doesn’t mean they won’t perform better in round 26. They were up against Hellas Verona, who were considered hard favourites and took the lead early.

The first step Spezia need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

Our confidence that Benevento will manage to hold their composure in an away game is shaky. They have over 5 concessions on record in their latest 3 visiting games alone.

As the season advances, the bottom-placed teams will be scrambling to get out of the relegation zone. Spezia are 5 points above these teams, but the battle is far from over.

Benevento are placed 16th in the standings with 5 points separating them from the relegation zone. Though the season’s end is approaching, they’ll need to stay on their game – the teams placed lower will be giving their all to stay in the Serie A.

The two teams already met this season in the Serie A, with Spezia taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 5.60 odds offer a decent return.
