Coppa Italia, first round, and the Olimpico is the stage for a heavyweight vs a Serie B side still finding its legs. Lazio arrive in electric form, five wins from five pre-season outings, having scored 20 goals across those games. Mantova head into this with two defenders already out - Andrea Meroni and Davis Mensah - and a defensive record that has seen them concede in 4 of their last 5. Lazio scored in all 5 recent games and went over 2.5 in every single one of them. Mantova managed over 2.5 in 4 of their 5. Both squads are built for attacking football right now, and the gap in class is enormous. At 1.70, Over 2.5 goals is the play - solid edge, clean logic.
