Buso rescues a point for Catanzaro at Benevento
Catanzaro snatched a 1-1 draw at Benevento in Serie B on Matchday 9, Nicolò Buso scoring in the second minute of stoppage time to cancel out a second-half penalty. The visitors, bottom of the table at kick-off and still 20th afterwards, left the Stadio Ciro Vigorito with a point they had hardly threatened to earn for long spells.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Benevento 45%, the draw 31%, Catanzaro 24%. It finished Benevento 1–1 Catanzaro.
Home advantage edges a level contest — Our strength rating has almost nothing between them, so the usual home advantage puts Benevento in front at 45%, though home sides in Serie B tend to under-perform, which pulls a little towards Catanzaro. The draw starts at 27% for sides this level, rises 7 points for Serie B's usual draw rate, then drops 3 because both teams' recent games average 3.4 goals.
Why Benevento in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1396 to 1369. Sides this close won 46.0% of 14,535 home games (draw 27.4%, visitors 26.6%).
Why only 45%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Serie B home sides under-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (32.3% vs 25.4% norm) and away wins (26.1% vs 30.0%). Serie B homes won 41.6% of 4,092 games vs 44.6% across all 108,018 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Catanzaro win?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 27.4%. These teams' recent games average 3.4 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 18,446. Serie B runs draw-heavy, adding 7.0 points. The goals environment takes 3.0 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Benevento have gained 66 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 40.0% of 11,948 such games vs 40.6% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Catanzaro have shed 78 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.0% of 10,380 such games vs 33.3% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
