Arezzo – Mantova

Match analysis

Arezzo host Mantova in what looks like a steep climb for the Serie C side perched on 13th place with just six points from two wins and three defeats, having scored only six goals while conceding thirteen. Mantova arrive in Arezzo’s stadium in a much stronger position, third in the table on eleven points after three victories and two draws, and they boast a solid defensive record of five goals conceded against ten scored. The gap in form is clear: Mantova are unbeaten, whereas Arezzo have yet to register a point from a draw. If the visitors can translate their efficiency into Arezzo’s front yard, they could well extend their push for promotion, while the hosts will need to tighten up at the back to avoid slipping further down the standings.
