Mantova
- Monday’s Serie B six-pointer between bottom-half Mantova and mid-table Reggiana should be an interesting clash of styles as the hosts look to pull away from the relegation zone and the visitors try to secure their place in the playoff positions, making the Mantova vs AC Reggiana 1919 prediction particularly intriguing for fans and punters alike.
- Mantova’s negative goal difference and low goals-per-game rate leave them in a lower mid-table position with around 14 points to their names.
- Leonardo Mancuso has been Mantova’s biggest threat to opposing goalkeepers this term, leading the Virgiliani in goals and minutes played.
- He has been a clear number nine and goal-getter this term, but Mantova have had a good balance of crafty creativity from the likes of Francesco Ruocco and Simone Trimboli and both have done a good job in linking with Mancuso for their best chances.
Reggiana
- Davide Dionigi’s Reggiana are in the opposite position to Mantova, with a slight advantage of around three points in the early-season Serie B table.
- Reggiana will be happy with their points tally of around 17, which has them in the play-off chasing bunch, but their form has been patchy with just one win in their last six league games (W1, D2, L3).
- Elayis Tavşan has been in fine form for Reggiana, consistently contributing goals and assists.
- Manolo Portanova and Andrija Novakovich can also play as number nines for the Granata and have featured in the goals and minutes charts for Reggiana this year.

Betting Insights
- Our Mantova vs AC Reggiana 1919 betting tips suggest that Mantova are the favorites for Monday’s fixture but we think Dionigi’s men have enough about them to at least avoid defeat in this fixture, as they have in their previous two meetings in Serie B.
- We’re taking Reggiana in the DTW market at 3.8, which is a massive price given they are expected to do well in this clash, and the 2.0 price on the Both Teams To Score option is also attractive given Mantova’s defensive struggles - another angle to consider for Mantova vs AC Reggiana 1919 betting tips.
Prediction
A draw, likely 1-1 , is our exact score prediction for this game but we’re going with the away side for the result as Reggiana’s head-to-head record and compact setup should allow them to capitalise on a potential defensive slip-up by Mantova.
