Virtus Entella and Mantova met last April, and it ended in a 1-0 win for Mantova, their only victory over this opponent in the last four meetings. This time the pattern may not be the same, because both teams are in good form and are separated by just five points in the table. Virtus Entella are unbeaten in 5 consecutive league matches, winning their most recent one 2-1 at home, and before that drawing 1-1. Their attack keeps creating chances consistently, but their defence has shaky moments early in games. Mantova, meanwhile, lost 0-2 in their last match, but before that won 3-1 and 2-0. They score more and sit higher in the table. This game is unlikely to turn into a heavy end-to-end exchange, because both sides are cautious and have defences they can trust in spells. If Virtus Entella score first, Mantova will have to open up, which could change the tempo immediately. But if Mantova take the lead first, Virtus Entella have limited options to respond. The game may well finish with a not-very-high score.
