Under 2.5 goals at Cittadella vs Benevento 8/11 for Sunday’s Serie B matchup

Competition: Serie B

Market: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 8/11 @ 888sport

Two sides who have their sights set on securing a play-off finish this season, Cittadella will host Benevento on Sunday afternoon in what could be a low-scoring affair.

Starting with the hosts, managing to pick up what was a much-needed victory last time out, there is no doubt that Cittadella will be desperate to build off of that result here. In their 23 Serie B matchups so far this season, they have recorded nine wins, eight draws and six defeats, scoring 26 and conceding 24 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 35, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 10th in the standings and just two points adrift of finding a route into the play-off places. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 1-0 victory against Pordenone on the road, that result was Cittadella’s first win from any of their last seven outings across all formats. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Sunday’s hosts have seen each of their last four matchups on the spin finish with under 2.5 goals.

As for the visitors, while Benevento might find themselves leading the chase to clinch a play-off spot this year, they are in the midst of what has been an extended rut. In their 23 Serie B matchups so far this season, they have recorded 10 wins, seven draws and six defeats, scoring 34 and conceding 23 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 37, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat seventh in the table and holding just a one-point buffer from slipping out of the play-off places. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 2-0 loss against Ascoli on home soil, Benevento have failed to win any of their last five outings on the spin. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, with Sunday’s guests seeing each of those five contests finish with under 2.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
