Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Virtus Verona in 11th and Mantova in 12th place.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

When playing at home in the Serie C: Girone B, Virtus Verona have managed 2 wins, 3 draws and suffered 0 defeats from 5 games. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Stadio Comunale Gavagnin-Nocini.
An away draw last time out for Virtus, facing Gubbio in a game that ended 1-1. Previous to that game, a home match hosting FeralpiSalò in a game that was won 3-0.

2 wins, 0 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Mantova playing as the away team in the Serie C: Girone B this season.
Mantova's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Modena that finished 0-0. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Südtirol wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
