Home advantage could swing it for Frosinone
Frosinone look the most likely side to secure all three points in this match-up, but not because of anything they have done in recent meetings with Mantova. Our Frosinone vs Mantova prediction is influenced by their recent form, as they have won two of the last three head-to-head clashes while the visitors won one; the most recent meeting was a 5-1 win for Frosinone seven months ago in Serie B.
This Frosinone vs Mantova preview is all about two very different tactical approaches. Frosinone have a very fluid setup that Alvini can manipulate from a 4-2-3-1, with the ball moving quickly and the players pressing collectively and vertically with discipline. It makes them difficult to break down, particularly at home where they are unbeaten in three with two wins and a draw.
Mantova have more intensity and energy in their game since Modesto’s appointment in December, with the visitors favouring a high-energy pressing strategy and quick transition with their wing-backs providing width. In Simone Trimboli, the visitors have a great provider of opportunities, and he has three assists in his last five games.
Mantova can put up a good battle
Mantova will be full of confidence following their two consecutive away wins, although 17 goals scored in 18 away games isn’t much to write home about. However, the away team should provide enough of a threat to break down Frosinone with Fares Ghedjemis leading the line for the hosts with 14 goals in 36 Serie B games this season, while Mantova’s Leonardo Mancuso has eight goals in 34 games.
We’re expecting Frosinone to keep a clean sheet in this crucial game for them as with only a point needed to secure promotion, they will be going all out for the win and their solid defence can shut out the away side here. The odds of 1.53 for a home victory are short but appealing given how strong Frosinone are on home turf, while we’re also backing Both Teams to Score - No in this game at 2.37.
