Match description

Mantova has a clear advantage in the quality of chances created at home: on average 16.31 shots and 5.5 on target per match with xG 1.77, translating to 1.5 goals scored in home games, and failing to score in only 13% of those matches. Virtus Entella on the road averages 11.19 shots and only 2.63 on target, scores 0.5 goals on average with xG 1.16 and fails to score in 56% of away fixtures, which significantly limits their offensive potential. Defensively the hosts concede 1.56 goals per home match, while the visitors concede 1.81 on the road; average xG against is 1.27 for Mantova versus 1.5 for Entella, suggesting greater risk for the away team. Although Entella has a better overall form in the last 5 matches (3 wins and an average 1.8 points vs Mantova’s 2 wins and 1.4 points), their low effectiveness away (only 6% wins and 69% losses) speaks against them. On this basis I give Mantova the higher probability: a home win is the most likely outcome.
