Mantova

WWDLWL

Mantova will be hoping for a better result following a 2-0 Serie B loss in their previous game against Salernitana.

In that game, Mantova had 68% possession and 7 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. On the other side, Salernitana had 13 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Lorenzo Amatucci (45') and Simeon Nwankwo (94') scored for Salernitana.

Matches with Mantova have tended to be lively ones lately with high scoring anticipated. Over their past six games alone, a grand total of 20 goals have flown in for both teams combined (at an average of 3.33 goals per game) with 11 of those being chalked up by Mantova. Having said that, we’ll just have to find out if the trend will continue on in this match.

Going into this encounter, Mantova are unbeaten in their previous 4 league matches at home.

Carrarese

WDDWLW

Carrarese go into this meeting following on from a 2-1 Serie B win as they beat Modena in their last match.

In that game, Carrarese had 36% possession and 7 attempts at goal with 3 on target. For Carrarese, the goalscorers were Nicolas Schiavi (42') and Julián Illanes (88'). At the other end, Modena had 17 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Ettore Gliozzi (63') was the scorer for Modena.

Antonio Calabro's Carrarese have converted 7 times in the course of their latest six matches. The aggregate of goals that they have conceded during those same matches adds up to 6.

Coming into this meeting, Carrarese have not won away from home in their last 12 league matches. Very poor, indeed.

ℹ️ Team News: Mantova

It seems likely that Virgiliani will possibly use a 4-2-3-1 system this time with Marco Festa, Tommaso Maggioni, Fabrizio Brignani, Stefano Cella, Cristiano Bani, Simone Trimboli, Salvatore Burrai, Francesco Galuppini, Leonardo Mancuso, Antonio Fiori and Davis Mensah.

ℹ️ Team News: Carrarese

Thanks to a largely healthy group of players, there’s just the lone fitness issue for the Carrarese gaffer Antonio Calabro to be concerned about. Stefano Mazzini (Shoulder injury) won’t be in action.

We are inclined to think that Gialloazzurri seem most likely to begin the game with a 3-5-2 lineup, starting Nicola Ravaglia, J. Illanes Minucci, Gabriele Guarino, Marco Imperiale, Manuel Cicconi, Stiven Shpendi, Nicolas Schiavi, Samuel Giovane, Devid Eugene Bouah, Tommaso Milanese and Mattia Finotto.

💡 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Carrarese are likely to find the back of the net against this Mantova lineup, although that probably won’t quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

Our tip is for both teams to score in a 2-1 winning margin for Mantova by the conclusion of the game. Looking forward to this.
