Tue 17th Mar, 19:00 BST, Stadio Danilo Martelli, Mantova

Davide Possanzini welcomes Michele Mignani to the Stadio Danilo Martelli on Tuesday evening, as their Mantova and Cesena troops go head to head in the Serie B. This preview has the best odds for 17 different betting markets, alongside bespoke data that updates as you explore. Our predictions are based on 20-game form, so all statistics are shown from a 20-game perspective. Home, away and overall performance can be explored, while there's also head-to-head history towards the bottom of the page.

Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

We make over 1.5 goals our tip on this one, meaning that the teams will score at least two goals between them during 90 mins. Both Mantova and Cesena's recent form stats suggest things will go that way, while their head-to-head (H2H) record adds further weight to the argument. The bookies make it the most likely outcome in this market too, available at 1.25.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Mantova are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 45% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.40.
