Italy Serie A

Venue: Stadio Ezio Scida, Crotone.

Two former members of Serie B who were promoted to the first division last season, Crotone and Benevento, will face each other this Sunday at the Ezio Scida stadium.

The hosts are in desperate need of points so that they can at least advance to the safety zone, while the Witches have no such problems after picking up three wins from their last five domestic matches.

Benevento is undoubtedly one of the most pleasant surprises of this campaign. These newcomers have bravely taken on many of the best, and some of the best results so far are wins against Fiorentina, as well as draws against Juventus and Lazio.

The visitors are marked as big favorites to win, currently with odds of 2,40. Can Crotone finally finish the draft and get their first win of 2024?

Crotone vs Benevento Prediction

Crotone has gathered the vast majority of its points at this location so far. Ezio Scida's current score is two wins, one draw and five defeats. These victories were achieved against Parma and Spezia.

Keeping a clean sheet seems like an impossible task for this team. They succeeded in these intentions only once in the last nine attempts.

His recent form on the bottom line is problematic as he has scored 11 goals in his last three outings against Inter Milan, Roma and Verona.

Benevento have been far more successful on the road than they have been at home, claiming four wins from ten games. The attack is led by the duo Gianluca Caprari and Gianluca Lapadula who have scored a total of seven goals so far.

Six of Crotone's last seven home games have ended the BTTS or over 2,5 goals. Scoring both teams is the safest approach from a betting point of view, in our opinion.

As for the full-time winner, we see good value in backup hosts at a ratio of 2,75. They beat Benevento last season at this venue quite easily.
