Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Following a 2-2 draw with Juve Stabia, Sassuolo will look to return to winning ways in the Serie B when they take on Mantova on Matchday 12. The Neroverdi have been scoring goals for fun at home of late and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Mantova. As Josh Doig limped off with injury in the midweek draw, Edoardo Pieragnolo is likely to sneak into the starting XI.
Midfielder Cristian Volpato is banned for the match, while both Josh Doig and Andrea Ghion remain in the recovery room. The visitors, on the other hand, failed to win the previous five league matches. As Mantova have been struggling in front of goal recently, we predict that the promotion-chasing hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s encounter. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team, but midfielder Nicolo Radaelli remains doubtful.
