General match analysis
Mantova sit 2nd, have won both of their league matches so far, and have recorded 4 wins in their last five games, while Cesena’s recent run stands at 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat. The visitors are clearly more dangerous offensively away from home: they average 2 goals, 12 shots and 4 shots on target per match, compared with Cesena’s 1 goal, 7 shots and 2 shots on target at home. The quality of chances created also favours Mantova, who average 1.34 xG, whereas Cesena produce just 0.78 xG while allowing opponents as much as 2.72 xG. The hosts have yet to keep a clean sheet, and with average possession of just 35%, they may spend long periods defending against a Mantova side that controls the ball 52% of the time. Cesena drew their only home match so far, so a draw remains a realistic outcome, but the numbers point more strongly towards an away win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Both teams have recorded BTTS in 100% of their matches so far this season, and neither has kept a clean sheet yet. Cesena create more chances at home, posting an xG of 1.84 and 9 shots on target per match, while Mantova average an xG of 1.34 and 4 shots on target. However, the visitors are in good offensive form: they have scored 10 goals in their last five matches, averaging 2.0 per game, while Cesena conceded an average of 1.0 goal during this period. A factor limiting confidence is that BTTS landed in only 40% of Cesena’s and 60% of Mantova’s last five matches, although Mantova conceded as many as 1.8 goals per game in that period, with an against xG of 1.58. BTTS has occurred in 70% of league matches, so the most likely scenario remains a game in which both teams score.
