Predictions for the Serie B game Cremonese vs. Benevento
US Cremonese - Benevento Calcio betting tip & best odds | 31.10.2026
Cremonese host Benevento at the Giovanni Zini on Saturday, 31 October 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00 in Serie B’s 10th matchday. Benevento arrive higher in the table and in stronger recent form, but Cremonese will look to make home advantage count. Our main prediction is a draw, with both teams to score as a second option.
Our betting tips for Cremonese vs Benevento
- Draw – Tip X, odds 3.35 (Mozzart). Benevento have the better overall record and have been unbeaten in their last five matches, but Cremonese’s latest 2-0 away win offers a timely boost. The teams also drew their latest meeting, and both have reasons to approach this contest carefully. A level result is a reasonable sports betting tip, particularly if the hosts can build on their recent defensive improvement.
- Both teams to score – Yes, odds 1.80 (Bet365). Benevento have scored 14 goals in nine league games, while Cremonese have managed eight. The visitors’ attacking output gives them a good chance of finding the net, and the home side should be encouraged by their latest victory. Although Cremonese have not been prolific, their home crowd and need for points could help them create chances. This is our second choice among today’s football bets.
These betting tips today balance Benevento’s stronger season so far with Cremonese’s potential to make the match competitive at the Giovanni Zini. As with any football prediction, odds and outcomes can change, so consider your stake carefully.
Comparing the best odds for the match
The available prices reflect a fairly open contest: the home win is offered at 2.71 with 1win, the draw at 3.35 with Mozzart, and the away win at 2.65 with Bet365. Benevento are marginally shorter in the match-winner market, consistent with their better league position, but the difference between the teams is small enough to make the draw an appealing alternative. For both teams to score, Bet365 offers 1.80 on Yes, while 1win has 2.06 on No. Our experience comparing bookmakers shows that prices can vary meaningfully by market, so it is worth checking the terms and current odds before placing a bet.

Cremonese performance check
Cremonese begin matchday 10 in 15th place with nine points from nine games. Their record stands at two wins, three draws and four defeats, with eight goals scored and 11 conceded. That return points to a side that has struggled to turn competitive spells into consistent results, and their home record has also been modest: one win, one draw and two losses. Playing at the Giovanni Zini is therefore an opportunity rather than a guarantee of an advantage.
Fabio Pecchia’s team will nevertheless take encouragement from their latest outing, a 2-0 away win over Mantova 1911 SSD. The clean sheet was a welcome change after conceding 11 times across the league campaign, while the two goals offered evidence that Cremonese can be more decisive in front of goal. Across their last five matches in all competitions, they have recorded two wins, one draw and two defeats. That mixed run explains their position, but the latest result could provide momentum if they carry the same discipline into this home fixture.
Benevento’s form and league position
Benevento have made the stronger start, sitting fifth with 15 points. They have won four, drawn three and lost two of their nine league matches, scoring 14 goals and conceding eight. The figures suggest a more productive attack and a sturdier defence than Cremonese have shown so far. Their away record is also encouraging: two wins and one defeat from three trips, with no draws on the road.
Antonio Floro Flores’s side are unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions, collecting three wins and two draws. Their most recent game ended 1-1 at home against US Catanzaro, a result that extended the unbeaten run but may leave them seeking a sharper finish in front of goal. Benevento’s 14 league goals indicate that they have several ways to threaten, although Cremonese’s clean sheet against Mantova means the visitors should not assume they will find space easily.
The last direct duels
The recent head-to-head record is close. In the last five meetings across all competitions, Cremonese have won once, Benevento have won twice, and two matches have ended level. The latest encounter finished 1-1, and the most recent Serie B meeting also produced a 1-1 draw. Those results do not establish a clear historical advantage for either side, but they support the idea that this pairing can be closely contested.
Past meetings are only one part of the picture, especially with both teams arriving in different form. Benevento’s unbeaten sequence and higher standing give them a stronger season profile, while Cremonese’s recent away victory offers a reason to expect a more confident home performance. The previous draw is a useful reference point, not a guarantee of the same outcome.
Match conclusion and prediction
Benevento deserve slight respect as the more consistent team: they have six more points, a better goal difference and an impressive start to their away campaign. Their recent unbeaten run also gives them a solid platform. However, the odds suggest a balanced contest, and Cremonese have just produced a convincing 2-0 result that could help them approach this match with renewed belief. Their home record is a concern, but the gap between the teams may be smaller on the pitch than the table suggests.
Our main prediction is a draw, with 1-1 a plausible scoreline given the teams’ latest direct meeting and the overall balance of the matchup. For a separate market, both teams to score is also worth considering: Benevento’s attacking numbers are strong, while Cremonese should be capable of creating opportunities after their latest win.
