Mantova are in good shape right now, having won their last two games and also picking up a couple of draws recently, with just one loss in their recent run. Ascoli are struggling badly — they have lost three of their last five and drawn the other two, so they haven't won in a while and are finding it hard to score goals at all.

There are no recent meetings between these two to look back on, but the form points clearly one way: Mantova look the stronger side and should win this one, while Ascoli will do well to hold them to a draw.
