In our opinion, there is no intrigue in this match. At the moment, Mantova is superior to its opponent in all respects and at the same time the team is in high spirits, not losing in three matches in a row. Reggiana plays poorly on the road and has won only one victory in the last five matches. The first round ended in a draw, but we believe that today the home team will be on top.
Prediction: Mantova win with odds of 2.55
Betting on Team Goals
"Mantova" is playing on its home field, will act first number, and the opponent will not stand aside. "Reggiana" will try to dry up the game, but in the last four games in a row the home team exchanged goals with the opponents, which we expect today.
Prediction: both teams to score with odds of 1.90
Bet on total
In three of the five games that have passed, Mantova has had a total of over 2.5 goals, and the opponents intend to play openly. The visitors will act defensively, but the hosts will try to break through the defense of the visiting team. We believe that there will be many goals in Mantova.
Forecast - total over 2.5 goals with odds of 2.30
