Key Players
- Cesena’s Cristian Shpendi has scored 5 goals in 15 Serie B games this season and will be in contention to grab the winner if Mantova can be kept quiet.
- Mantova’s Francesco Ruocco has been more prolific, however, hitting 4 in 8 Serie B fixtures and 2 of his side’s last 5 goals.
Betting Insights
- Cesena have won three, drawn two and lost only once in Serie B at home this season and look good value at 1.85 to defeat the 4.12 underdogs, Mantova, who have won once, drawn once and lost five times on the road.
- A home win to nil is worth consideration here, but the odds of 1.79 for Under 2.5 goals suggest this will be a tight, low-scoring match.
Prediction
- Their disciplined structure and quick vertical transitions under Mignani should be enough to earn them the win against a blunt Mantova attack.
- Back the home side to earn the win.
