Mantova have been the more prolific side in front of goal recently, but Cesena boast the stronger defensive record. The contrasting styles could make for a fascinating tactical battle. As the stronger side on paper, Mantova will want to dictate proceedings. However, Cesena will be well aware of the threat they pose and may look to frustrate and hit on the break.

This is a closely contested fixture, with the model suggesting a draw is the most likely outcome. The predicted scoreline of 2-2 reflects the evenly matched nature of the contest. Confidence in this prediction stands at 45%. Kick-off in the Serie B awaits.
