Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Stadio Danilo Martelli will host Sunday’s football game between Mantova and Brescia, the two top-table sides. Mantova are eager to climb to the playoffs berth and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field. Despite scoring as a substitute in 4-2 loss to Cesena, forward Francesco Ruocco should once again start off the bench, while midfielder Nicolo Radaelli continues to miss out with injury.
Le Rondinelle, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, with the team winning three of their last four league matches. As Brescia looked sharp up front in a 3-2 victory over Cremonese, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. In their last meeting at the venue the two sides played out a 2-2 draw and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Team (Brescia):
Hosting their rivals at Stadio Mario Rigamonti, the stadium with the capacity of 16,743, Brescia are Italian team founded back in 1911 under the name of Brescia Football Club. Le Rondinelle are well known for their blue and white shirts, but white is dominant colour in their away kit.
Atalanta are considered one of the club’s fiercest rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the Derby of Lombardy. The Stadio Mario Rigamonti outfit have rivalries with the likes of Inter, Hellas Verona and Cremonese as well. Roberto Baggio, who has 56 caps with the Italy national football team, is considered the most famous footballer who played for Brescia.
Robi scored 45 goals in 95 appearances in the Serie A for le Rondinelle. It has to be noted that the likes of Andrea Pirlo, Gheorge Hagi, Pep Guardiola, Luca Toni, Luigi Di Biagio and Dario Hubner were part of Brescia in the past as well. However, Mario Rigamonti is the club’s biggest legend as he died in the Superga air disaster back in 1949.
