Mantova v Cesena : Serie B match betting preview, prediction and odds

Thu 1st May, 14:00 BST, Stadio Danilo Martelli, Mantova

Cesena are on the road on Thursday afternoon, as manager Michele Mignani takes his team to visit Mantova and Davide Possanzini at the Stadio Danilo Martelli in the Serie B. Recent form, head-to-head stats, predictions and odds from leading bookmakers are all laid out below. It's our job to give you all the information you need to place a smart, well-informed bet. We've backed , but why not take a look and see if there's another bet you prefer?

Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there isn't an obvious winner here, but good reason to think Mantova and Cesena will score 2 or more goals between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head historically, and neither Davide Possanzini or Michele Mignani has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s lately either. The bookies predict over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.29 equating to roughly a 75% probability.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Mantova are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 39% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.45.
