Football Bet of the Day: Fair Verona bring goals to Benevento

Benevento v Hellas Verona
Wednesday 16:00

Ross County exceeded the wildest expectations - ours and theirs - at Victoria Park last night. In the Scottish Premiership's relegation six-pointer, the Staggies put four past Partick to win our goals bet with something to spare.

From the lowlands of Scotland to the lowlands of Italy this afternoon. Today's basement battle pitches bottom-of-the-table Benevento at home to second-bottom Hellas Verona.

Sixteen points short of safety, the hosts are as good as relegated from Serie A already and playing in an appropriately carefree style. Since Roberto De Zerbi took charge halfway through the season, they've delivered Over 2.5 Goals in 7/9 at Ciro Vigorito Stadium. They've scored in 8/9 - only second-placed Napoli have stopped them - but conceded at least twice in 8/9.

Fabio Pecchia's Hellas Verona are four points short of safety and should be targeting this game as a prime source of three points. We expect to see them on the front foot too.

Since drawing their first away game of the season 0-0 at Crotone, the Yellow and Blues have served up a series of high scorers on their trips to fellow strugglers. Visiting other teams now 10th or below, results read 2-2, 2-3, 1-2, 2-0, 2-2, 0-4. We're backing a few more goals in today's game.
