Mantova form and stats

There's been little loot from Mantova's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 13 away games in the Serie C: Girone A. Mantova only have 2 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 3 draws. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Mantova are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

This fixture can not go any worse than the last one, the home defeat versus Virtus Verona with 2-3 on the scoreboard. Leading 2-0 was not enough for Mantova in their fight with Virtus Verona last time out. Happy faces soon turned sour as mistakes flourished in what ended up a 2-3 loss. Late heartbreak for Mantova in the Virtus Verona match, as the deciding 2-3 goal came deep into overtime.

A 0-1 defeat away at Pro Sesto before that.

The visitors have scored 12 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Mantova has visited these top teams four times, and 3 of 4 has ended with 2 goals or more!
