Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

There is 75% chance of Cittadella and Mantova 3 goals or less combined during this Serie B match according to our predictive algorithm and, in the absense of a strong favourite in the WDW market, we think that's where the smart money should go. Calculations are made based on recent form, historical head-to-head (H2H) statistics and the view of the betting market, and you can back it at 1.20.
