Mantova vs Venezia Prediction: Odds, Stats, and Expert Betting Tips

If you’re looking for the best Mantova vs Venezia prediction, you’re in the right place. This Serie B meeting on January 24, 2026, at Stadio Danilo Martelli promises plenty of talking points for football fans and sports betting enthusiasts alike. With Venezia flying high in 2nd place and Mantova battling down in 16th, the betting odds, team tactics, and recent form all point to an intriguing contest—so let’s break it down in simple terms.

Team Form, Tactics, and Head to Head

Let’s start with the basics. Venezia are enjoying a fantastic run in Serie B, sitting comfortably in 2nd place. They’ve won 7 of their last 8 league games, and get this: they were ahead at both half-time and full-time in 6 of those matches. Their recent wins—like the 3-1 victories over Catanzaro and Reggiana—show they’re not just winning, they’re doing it with style. Away from home, Venezia have also been ruthless, picking up three straight wins on the road.

Mantova, on the other hand, are having a tough time. They’re 16th in the table, dangerously close to the relegation play-off zone. In their last five matches, they’ve managed just one win, with two draws and two losses. Their most recent results—a 1-2 defeat to Padova and a 1-1 draw with Palermo—show they’re struggling to find consistency.

When it comes to head to head meetings, Venezia have dominated. Since 2012, these two have met nine times: Venezia have won eight, with just one draw and zero wins for Mantova. The last time they faced off, Venezia cruised to a 3-0 victory. If you’re looking for a reason to back the home side, history isn’t on your side!

Players, Tactics, and Staff News

  • Mantova have recently brought in experienced goalkeeper Francesco Bardi from Palermo, hoping to shore up their defense. Their likely setup is a 3-4.1-1, with Bardi in goal, a back three of Bani, Cella, and Castellini, and a midfield led by Maggioni and Trimboli. Up front, Ruocco and Mancuso are the main threats, with 5 and 4 goals respectively.
  • Venezia usually line up in a 3-5-2, with Andrea Adorante (8 goals) and John Yeboah (7 goals) leading the attack. The midfield is packed with talent like Busio and Doumbia, while the defense is marshaled by Svoboda and Perez.

On the injury front, Mantova have had a few knocks, but key players like Mensah, Bani, Mancuso, and Bragantini are back in training. Only Radaelli (suspended) and Mantovani (recovering) are likely to miss out. Both teams have stable coaching setups, with Mantova recently appointing Francesco Modesto, who’s promised a fresh start and more aggressive football. Venezia’s boss Giovanni Stroppa is keeping his squad focused, warning against underestimating Mantova despite their league position.

Interesting Stats and Betting Odds

  • Venezia have scored in their last 7 away games.
  • Mantova have conceded the most goals at home in Serie B and have let in goals in their last 4 home matches.
  • Head to head is all Venezia, with Mantova yet to win in nine attempts.
  • Market value: Mantova at €20.27m, Venezia at €53.03m—almost triple!
  • Recent upsets: Mantova drew 2-2 with Palermo as big underdogs, while Venezia held Napoli to a 0-0 draw.

The betting odds reflect all this: Mantova are big outsiders at 6.0 for a home win, the draw is at 4.1, and Venezia are clear favorites at 1.63. If you’re into sports betting, these odds tell a pretty clear story.

Mantova vs Venezia Prediction: AI Tips and Final Score Forecast

Now for the part you’ve all been waiting for: our expert Mantova vs Venezia prediction, powered by NerdyTips’ AI. Here’s what the numbers say:

  1. 1x2 Market: The best tip is a Venezia win (2), with a trust level of 9.0/10 and odds of 1.63. That’s about as confident as our AI gets—Venezia’s form, head to head record, and attacking power make them the smart pick.
  2. Over/Under: Over 1.5 goals is the recommended play, with a trust rating of 4.4 and odds of 1.26. Both teams have been involved in high-scoring games lately, and with Mantova’s leaky home defense, we could see goals at both ends.
  3. Predicted Score: Our AI sees this finishing 2-1 to Venezia, with a 1-1 scoreline at half-time. Expect Venezia to take control in the second half, as they’ve done so often this season.
  4. Stats Forecast: Venezia are projected to have 60% ball possession, 18 shots (6 on target), and 5 corners. Mantova are expected to manage 9 shots (2 on target) and 3 corners. The card count? Two yellows for Mantova, one for Venezia—so don’t expect a bloodbath!

In summary, all signs point to Venezia continuing their strong run. Mantova have shown they can scrap for a result, but the gulf in quality, recent form, and head to head record is hard to ignore. If you’re looking for value in the sports betting markets, backing Venezia to win at 1.63 looks like a solid bet. Over 1.5 goals is another safe option if you prefer a bit less risk.

So there you have it—our Mantova vs Venezia prediction, with all the stats, betting odds, and expert tips you need. Whether you’re a football fan, a betting enthusiast, or just here for the story, enjoy the match and may your bets be lucky!
