They sit second, backed by standout season figures: 2.00 points per game and just 0.75 goals conceded on average. Cavese, 14th, look like mid-table consolidators, but their last eight matches show an upturn (1.50 PPG vs 1.06 season average). The narrative is clear: the visitors have more quality, but their away form is the leveller.</p> <h2>Venue dynamics</h2> <p>At the Simonetta Lamberti, Cavese produce tight contests: 1.14 goals for and 1.14 against per home game, with a notably low 29% BTTS rate. They start quickly—average first goal scored at home on 10’—yet fade late, conceding heavily in the closing stretch. Benevento’s away split is the soft spot in an otherwise elite profile: just 1.25 PPG and a 38% failure to score rate away, despite scoring first 62% of the time on their travels. The venue points to a constrained game-state early and growing away control after the interval.</p> <h2>Timing tells: the second-half script</h2> <p>Cavese concede late: seven goals shipped in the 76–90 window and a home second-half ledger of 2 scored vs 6 allowed. Benevento, in contrast, are especially dangerous right after half-time (46–60: 8 goals scored, 0 conceded overall). That split underpins two bets: second-half Benevento and HT draw/FT Benevento. Expect a cagey opening half punctuated by disciplined Cavese defending and limited risk-taking from a Benevento side wary of away slips. After the break, the visitors’ extra quality and physical superiority often tell.</p> <h2>Tactical matchup</h2> <p>Cavese typically set up with a compact back four and two screens, inviting pressure and playing off transitions. That shape makes sense versus a possession-oriented Benevento, who cycle through a 4‑3‑3/4‑2‑3‑1 with technical superiority in advanced areas. The defensive plan will be to limit service into Benevento’s central striker and force crosses under pressure. Yet, with Cavese’s lead-defending rate at 50%, maintaining concentration after the interval is the key challenge. Benevento’s press and tempo lift between 46–65 minutes has yielded frequent breakthroughs.</p> <h2>Key players to watch</h2> <p>For Benevento, recent scorers Marco Tumminello and Davide Lamesta headline the threat, with Jacopo Manconi also contributing. Their variety—runs in behind, set-piece quality, and a strong 46–60 tempo—makes them especially dangerous as Cavese legs tire. Cavese’s goals have lately come through penalties and opportunistic moments via Francesco Orlando and Daniele Sorrentino; set pieces and counters are their best route.</p> <h2>Market angles and where value lies</h2> <ul> <li><strong>BTTS No (1.75)</strong> – The numbers scream value: Cavese’s home BTTS is just 29% and Benevento away BTTS 38%. With both sides poor at recovering from conceding first, a one-sided scoreline or a clean-sheet outcome is more likely than the market implies.</li> <li><strong>HT Draw (2.05)</strong> – Cavese home half-time draws hit 57%; Benevento away half-time draws 62%. Price suggests ~49% but the data indicate ~60%.</li> <li><strong>2nd Half Winner Benevento (2.10)</strong> – Matches the timing profiles: Cavese fade markedly; Benevento spike immediately after the interval.</li> <li><strong>HT/FT Draw/Benevento (4.33)</strong> – A correlated special for those leaning into the HT cagey, FT class edge narrative.</li> </ul> <h2>Risk, alternatives, and bankroll notes</h2> <p>Those seeking a bigger price can consider <em>Cavese clean sheet at 4.33</em> as a contrarian longshot: Benevento fail to score 38% away and Cavese post a 29% home clean sheet rate—combined fair around 30% vs implied 23%. High variance, small stake only. Conversely, the full-time Away 1.73 looks short given Benevento’s 50% away losses; The Oracle avoids that side.</p> <h2>The Oracle’s verdict</h2> <p>Expect a disciplined, low-event first half with parity the most likely HT outcome. As legs tire, Benevento’s superior individual quality should tilt the late exchanges. The best value sits on BTTS No and HT Draw, with 2H Benevento as the match-flow kicker.</p> </body> </html>
