Empoli vs Mantova Prediction and Betting Tips 14 March 2026

Empoli will be looking to get back on course when they host Mantova in this intriguing Serie B game. As both sides are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach, we predict a 2-2 draw. The Azzurri head into the match after a chaotic 3-2 defeat to Catanzaro, but importantly, they have no fresh injury worries. Their overall form remains shaky (LDDDL), averaging just 0.70 points per game, and their home record is even weaker at 0.60 PPG. Empoli score 0.90 goals per match while conceding 1.50, with BTTS landing in 60% of their fixtures.

Mantova travel with a boost as midfielder Federico Zuccon returns after missing the 2-0 win over Juve Stabia. Their form (LLWDL) is inconsistent, but their matches are far more open, averaging 3.00 total goals. The Biancorossi have failed to keep a clean sheet all season, yet see BTTS in 80% of their games. Their away output dips to 1.00 goals scored per match, but they remain competitive.

As both teams hit BTTS in 60–80% of games, we believe that there is big value in betting on Both Teams to Score, with additional value on Over 2.5 goals and Draw (small stake).

This Serie B match will be played on Saturday 14 March 2026 at 14:00.
