More markets for the Serie B game, scheduled for August 30 at 1:00 PM ET.
Mantova enters the August 30 Serie B fixture at Stadio Danilo Martelli with strong recent momentum after a 2-0 Coppa Italia upset victory over Lazio on August 16. Both sides compete in the 2026-27 Serie B campaign following promotion and relegation movements, with limited pre-season form available. Empoli holds a historical edge in prior meetings, including a 2-2 draw last March, and reports no major squad absences. Mantova lists key injuries to Davide Bragantini and Nicolò Radaelli, potentially affecting attacking options and depth. Home advantage, combined with the cup result, shapes early trader views on outcomes, though early-season variables such as tactical adjustments and match fitness remain influential.
