Catanzaro host Mantova in Serie B this evening, with the home side having just lost 1-2 in their last match, while Mantova have just drawn 2-2. The two teams' form going into the game is clearly different: the hosts sit 19th with 3 points from 5 matches, while the visitors are 3rd with 11 points and are still unbeaten in the league. Catanzaro have won only one of their last five, a 1-0 win that required defending deep and waiting for their moment, while their defence has conceded in every other match, especially late on, where they have conceded 40% of all their goals. Mantova are different: they are unbeaten in three, drew their last two in entertaining end-to-end games, and their attack scores consistently across different phases of the game. This game is likely to see Mantova dominate the rhythm and look for openings from the flanks and long balls into space, while Catanzaro focus on sitting deep and waiting to counter. If the hosts score first, the game changes immediately, but if Mantova control the tempo and avoid conceding easily from set pieces, they have a high chance of not losing this game.
