Coppa Italia last-16 football, and two Serie B sides arrive in Palermo carrying genuine momentum: Palermo have won four of their last five, while Mantova pulled off a stunning 2-0 win at Lazio in the previous Coppa round. These two know each other well, and the head-to-head history sets the scene perfectly.
The numbers back the goals angle hard. In 3 of the last 4 meetings between these clubs both teams scored, and Mantova have conceded in all 4 of their last 5 games. Palermo scored in 4 of their last 5 and kept just 1 clean sheet in 4 h2h matches. Mantova arrive with 3 injured absentees, but their attack has been relentless, scoring 10 goals across five recent outings.
At 1.75-1.77, BTTS YES carries real value given the h2h pattern. Palermo are short at 1.65-1.66 for the win, and the Coppa format removes the draw safety net. Give me the goals angle at a bigger price.
