Editor's Prediction
Bookmakers haven't picked a favorite, which seems odd given Mantova's current form-they're languishing at the bottom of the table and experiencing a significant slump. The main issue for the hosts is their attack: in 12 of their last 14 Serie B matches, they have failed to score more than one goal. In contrast, Empoli appear more organized and capable of controlling the game, preventing their opponents from gaining momentum. Therefore, betting on Mantova's individual total under 1.5 goals seems the most reasonable option.
