Vicenza Virtus – Mantova

Vicenza Virtus host Mantova in what promises to be a stark contrast of form, with the home side languishing in 17th place on just five points from one win, two draws and two defeats, and a goal difference of minus three. Mantova sit comfortably in third, having amassed 11 points from an unbeaten run of three victories and two draws, boasting a healthy +5 goal difference. The clash pits a struggling Vicenza defence that has conceded ten goals in five games against a Mantova attack that has found the net ten times while keeping the opposition to just five. A positive result for Vicenza could be crucial in their fight to escape the relegation zone, whereas Mantova will look to consolidate their push for the top spots.
