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

Sun 16th Feb, 14:00 BST, Renzo Barbera, Palermo

Palermo are in Serie B action on Sunday afternoon, as Alessio Dionisi aims to beat Davide Possanzini and his Mantova side at the Renzo Barbera. For every Serie B preview, KickOff explores the stats for multiple markets. Key stats, including head to head (H2H) results, are then given alongside odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers.


Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

Our calculations suggest that it's fairly unlikely that this match will have more than 3 goals at most, and the odds and statistics are in line with KO's predictive algorithm on this one. Palermo and Mantova have seldom been involved in thrillers of late, whether that be in Serie B individually or in head-to-head clashes. So, without a convincing favourite win or double chance market, we're recommending under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.33.
