Serie B Betting Preview: Palermo vs Mantova

Palermo welcome Mantova to Stadio Renzo Barbera, with kick-off set for 15:00 on Wednesday 4 March.

Palermo Look the Value Pick

Palermo should be able to beat Mantova by two goals or more. We’ll back them -1 at -133, meaning money back if the favourites claim a one goal victory, although we think the margin should be bigger.

1-1 Draw in Last H2H Clash

Palermo have won eight consecutive games at home. In their last appearance, they suffered a 2-1 road defeat against Pescara at Stadio Adriatico Giovanni Cornacchia. I Rosanero recorded 45% possession and had six shots on target, with Joel Pohjanpalo bagging the goal.

Mantova played Carrarese at home in their previous game. It was a 1-1 draw at Stadio Danilo Martelli. The Mantua team were restricted to 40% possession and recorded four shots on goal, while Davide Bragantini found the net.
