Palermo vs Mantova team news and expert analysis
The Sicilian club have been unable to return to Italy’s top flight. Last season brought more disappointment, as they finished fourth in the regular season with 72 points before losing to their first playoff opponent, Catanzaro. They began the new campaign at home against Juve Stabia, where a single goal was enough to secure victory. They then faced Arezzo in a much more open encounter, but once again came away with three points after a 3-2 win.
Mantova collected 46 points in Serie B last season, finishing ninth on additional criteria and narrowly missing out on a place in the playoffs. After the summer break, they began away to Carrarese and won 2-1. They then produced an even more convincing result against Empoli, securing a 3-1 victory.
The hosts have already impressed in the cup. They defeated Lecce 2-0, scoring both goals before half-time. But the real shock came in Rome, where the visitors also scored twice without reply to stun Lazio!
