Cosmos vs SS Virtus Prediction: An Exciting Duel Between the Teams in the Top Five Standings

In the upcoming matchup of Campionato Sammarinese di Calcio, Matchday 26, Cosmos will take on SS Virtus at the Stadio Fonte dell’Ovo in San Marino. Going in the matchup, Cosmos stands at the top of the points table with 17 wins and 56 points. On the other hand, SS Virtus finds itself in the top five standings, 5th, with 13 wins and 46 points. Virtus has certainly improved its consistency levels and has managed to stay on top of its game in the last few matches. The last time these two sides played against each other, the match resulted in a goalless draw. 

The competition between Cosmos and Virtus has gone down to the wire in recent times. From the last 7 matches played between the two, Virtus has won five, and 2 matches have ended in a draw. In the last 7 matches, Cosmos hasn’t defeated Virtus. Hence, the table toppers are likely to feel the pressure against Virtus while playing in Stadio Fonte dell’Ovo.

Going in the matchup, Cosmos is coming off a win against Libertas (1-0), in which Tommaso Guidi scored the opening goal in the 8th minute of play, and then Comos ensured defensive gameplay. Moreover, Cosmos did bring in substitutes in play. However, the match was pretty much sealed in their favor. When playing at home this season, Cosmos has won 82% of its home fixtures and has scored a decent average of 2.45 goals. Moreover, has conceded an average of just 0.27 goals. Hence, the position of Cosmos in home fixtures is pretty much clear in the contest. Cosmos has scored 12 goals in its last 5 matches, averaging 2.4 goals per game. Therefore, Cosmos will be fancying its chances of scoring swiftly against Virtus. 

Going in the contest, SS Virtus is coming off a high-scoring and one-sided win against Murata (5-0), in which Ivan Buonocunto, Nicola Angeli, Roberto Sabato, and Lucas Sorrentino scored goals. Though Virtus lost its last away match against Tre Penne, it has a scoring average of 1.82 goals in away fixtures this season. Compared to the scoring average, the conceding average is just 1.00 in away matches. Secondly, Virtus even has a head-to-head advantage against Cosmos, which is why the odds might favor Virtus to win. Virtus has scored 12 goals, just as Cosmos in the last 5 matches played in Campionato Sammarinese.

Virtus has dominated Cosmos in the last 7 outings between the two. With Virtus leading the current head-to-head advantage against Cosmos, the upcoming matchup could prove to produce a twist in the table standings. However, the goal-scoring averages of the two teams are the same from the last 5 matches played. Moving forward, I am predicting another draw between the two, and the match total to remain under 2.5 goals. The final scoreline is likely to be 1-1 at the end of 90 minutes of play. 

• Total Under 2.5 for 1.84
• Draw for 3.34
• Both Teams to Score - Yes for 1.71
