Mantova Team Overview
Mantova's home match against Pisa on 20 September 2026 ended 2-2. Mantova had 62% possession but, despite both sides having 14 shots each, hit the target less often - three times compared to five. That was their last match in Serie B.
Mantova have made a completely different kind of start to the season, picking up 11 points and sitting third, just two points behind the leaders. They are unbeaten in the league so far: three wins and two draws from their opening five matches. Their main strength is an attack that averages 2 goals per game. Across their last ten matches, the team have won six and lost two, maintaining that same high scoring rate. Their defence, however, has not always been reliable.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Catanzaro are considered favourites for this match, though the two sides' current form gives reason to question that assessment from the bookmakers. Mantova have made a much more confident start to the season, picking up points consistently and possessing an attack strong enough to cause problems for the hosts' defence. Catanzaro, meanwhile, have yet to find their feet and are unlikely to have an easy match even at home against one of the league's leading sides. Our pick, therefore, is Mantova to win - Draw No Bet.
