<html> <head> <title>Altamura vs Casertana: Match Preview and Betting Edges</title> </head> <body> <h2>Altamura vs Casertana — Serie C Girone C</h2> <p><strong>Date/Time:</strong> 5 January 2026, 19:30 UTC<br> <strong>Venue:</strong> Stadio Comunale Tonino D’Angelo, Altamura</p> <h3>Form and Context</h3> <p>Casertana arrive fifth in the table, riding an eight-match unbeaten run and a tangible uptick in attacking output: 2.00 goals per game across their last eight, up 26.6% on season norms. Altamura sit 16th and are trending the other way, taking just six points from their last eight.</p> <p>Recent previews frame this as a high-energy fixture where the visitors’ superior form tips the scales. Head-to-head isn’t decisive (one win apiece, two draws in four), but the reverse meeting this season ended 3-1 to Casertana, underlining their attacking depth.</p> <h3>Tactical Tendencies</h3> <p>Altamura’s home matches are chaotic and open. They average 3.00 total goals at home, score in 89% of those games, and have yet to record a clean sheet at the D’Angelo. They’re aggressive in wide areas and can equalize late (57% equalizing rate at home), but they often concede control and lack rigidity when defending leads.</p> <p>Casertana’s setup is versatile and well-drilled. They carry threats across multiple lines—Accursio Bentivegna’s direct runs, Jonas Heinz’s movement, and Matteo Casarotto’s incision have all recently converted into goals. Crucially, their game swells after halftime: 57% of goals arrive in the second half, with a dominant 76–90 minute window (8 scored, 1 conceded). That stamina and bench impact often tilt tight matches late.</p> <h3>Key Matchups</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Altamura back line vs Casertana forwards:</strong> Altamura concede 1.67 per home game; Casertana’s attackers have spread scoring responsibility, making them tough to contain.</li> <li><strong>Set-piece moments:</strong> With both sides conceding in spurts, restarts could be decisive; Casertana are well organized on deliveries, while Altamura can be exposed on second phases.</li> <li><strong>Late-game management:</strong> Casertana’s superior fitness and game-state control typically surface after 70'. Altamura’s late push can still yield a goal, but they’re likelier to be outscored in that period.</li> </ul> <h3>Statistical Texture vs Market Pricing</h3> <p>Serie C often leans towards unders and draws, but Altamura’s home split is a true outlier: 89% BTTS and 67% Over 2.5 at home. Markets remain anchored to league baselines, pricing Under 2.5 as the favorite. That creates value on BTTS and Overs in this specific spot.</p> <p>Casertana away are not a reckless unit (2.30 total goals per match), but their current form, multi-scorer profile, and Altamura’s defensive frailties strongly suggest the game trends above two goals with both finding the net.</p> <h3>Players to Watch</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Accursio Bentivegna (Casertana):</strong> Scored in recent wins; direct threat between the lines.</li> <li><strong>Jonas Heinz (Casertana):</strong> Arrives in the box at tempo; scored at Giugliano.</li> <li><strong>Michael Liguori (Altamura):</strong> Set-piece and penalty threat; keeps Altamura competitive on the scoreboard.</li> <li><strong>Ludovico D’Orazio (Altamura):</strong> Poacher’s instincts; capable of early or late strikes.</li> </ul> <h3>Outlook and Betting Take</h3> <p>Expect a competitive, open contest. Casertana’s underlying quality, plus their powerful late-game profile, should earn them the better moments—even if Altamura score. The most robust angle is both teams to find the net, with the totals leaning over the market’s conservative line. If the first half is cagey, look for Casertana to grow and tilt the second half.</p> <h3>The Oracle’s Projection</h3> <p>Score lean: 1-2 Casertana. The home side’s ability to notch one keeps them in it, but the visitors’ late surge and deeper bench likely decide it after the hour.</p> </body> </html>
