Match preview

Our model sees little between the sides: Mantova 43%, the draw 23%, Palermo 34%.

Our fair price for "Home win" is 2.34 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 3.3 goals in total (1.76 for Mantova, 1.56 for Palermo), which points to Over 2.5 as a secondary angle.

Mantova sit 4th on 18 points; Palermo are 1st on 26.

Check team news before kick-off — a late change to either line-up moves the numbers.
