Palermo vs Mantova Tips & Live Stream – Both Sides to Score in the Coppa Italia
Palermo and Mantova each boast three straight wins at the start of the season. Notably, their two previous meetings this year resulted in both teams scoring (BTTS). As they prepare for another head-to-head clash on Thursday, trend suggests fans should expect goals from both sides again. The key takeaway: BTTS is highly likely in this anticipated matchup, based on recent form and history between the teams.

14 Previous Meetings
The big majority of previous head to head meetings between Palermo and Mantova were stalemates, with 10 draws in 14 meetings and both teams claiming two victories each.
Red-Hot Palermo
Palermo have been trying to make comeback to Serie A for six straight years, and judging by early days, this season could be the one for the Sicily side.
They are sharing top of the Serie B table after two rounds, claiming back to back victories against Juve Stabia 1-0 and Arezzo 3-2. Dennis Johnsen played key role in these wins, scoring two goals and registering one assist.
Palermo were also victorious in the previous round of the Italian Cup, beating Lecce 2-0 in front of the home crowd in mid-August (opposition had 3.09 xG and 5-2 in goal chances though).

Mantova caused a massive upset in their season-opening clash, eliminating Lazio 2-0 in the Italian Cup two weeks ago. They had 2.28-2.20 xG and 7-3 shots on target in the capital.
Francesco Modesto's side also delivered in their Serie B round one match, beating Carrarese 2-1 on the road with Francesco Ruocco and Rares Ilie appearing on scoresheet.
Last weekend, they made it two in a row at home, taking down Empoli 3-1. Mantova were behind for 59 minutes here, then Vanja Vlahovic showed up with one goal and one assist to orchestrate a comeback.
