Mantova welcome Empoli to their Stadio Danilo Martelli looking to bounce back after a narrow 3–2 defeat to Cesena, but our prediction points toward a 1-1 draw as Empoli are eager to grab something from Sunday's clash as well. I Biancorossi collect 1.4 points per game at home and generate a strong expected goals of 2.07, suggesting they create enough chances even if results have been mixed. Defensively, they are more reliable at home than away, conceding just 1.2 goals on average, although a 40% overall failure-to-score rate highlights their attacking inconsistency.
The Azzurri aim to recover from a disappointing 2–0 loss to Juve Stabia, but they could be without both Saporiti and Lovato, which slightly weakens their balance. Still, Empoli remain the more stable side overall, averaging 1.4 points per game and scoring 1.5 goals per match. Their games tend to be open, with 2.6 total goals on average, and they rarely keep clean sheets away from home. Head-to-head data is limited, but both previous meetings cleared the 1.5-goal line, hinting at another competitive contest.
With both teams averaging above 2.3 total goals per game, we are tempted to place our bets on Over 1.5 goals, alongside BTTS and Half-Time Draw.
This Serie B match will be played on Sunday 21 December 2025 at 16:15.
