Ascoli vs Benevento Prediction 5 September 2026

Benevento have begun considerably worse and currently occupy only 15th place, so the visitors already need to start picking up points. The hosts will look to hold their position near the top, while Benevento need to gradually work their way out of the lower half of the Serie B table.

Head-to-head statistics Ascoli - Benevento

Ascoli Calcio 1898 Team Overview
Ascoli have picked up four points from their opening two fixtures and sit fifth, having made a solid start to the new season. Across their last ten matches, they have won five, drawn three and lost two. During that run they have averaged 1.7 goals scored and just one conceded per game, so the balance between attack and defence looks fairly convincing. They are particularly strong at home, having won eight of their last nine matches on their own ground, which makes them a dangerous proposition ahead of this meeting with Benevento.

Benevento Team Overview
Benevento have picked up just one point from their opening two fixtures and sit 15th. Over their last ten matches, they have won four, drawn three and lost three, so consistency has been hard to come by. Going forward, they are capable of creating a decent number of chances and have been averaging around 1.7 goals per game over that recent run, but the defence has been less reliable. Given Ascoli's strong home form, it is that defensive side of their game which could be the biggest test for the visitors here.
Match Results: Benevento
Match Result Prediction
Ascoli have not lost at home in 15 consecutive matches, which speaks to their consistency on their own ground. They have won 8 of their last 9 home matches and have not suffered a single home defeat this season. Benevento, meanwhile, have no away wins to their name this season either. Given Ascoli's lengthy home run, this bet looks solid. The odds on this option are 1.39*.
Total Goals Prediction
In the last five head-to-head meetings between these two sides, the total has come in under 2.5 goals every time, pointing to a tendency for low-scoring encounters in this fixture. However, the current form of Ascoli and Benevento this season and in recent matches shows both teams averaging more than one goal per game. The bet on Total Goals - Under 2.5 is therefore supported by the head-to-head history, but sits somewhat at odds with their more recent scoring form. This option is priced at 1.70*.
Risky Bet
Ascoli have won 8 of their last 9 home matches and are unbeaten at home in 15 games in a row. However, in head-to-head meetings with Benevento in recent years, Ascoli have often struggled. A bet on the home win is backed by their recent home form, but the history of this fixture adds some uncertainty. This option is available at odds of 2.33*.
