Analysis & Preview
Mantova travel to Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris to take on Sampdoria in Serie B (matchday 10). The game is scheduled for Sunday 27 October 2024 at 14:00 UK time.
Form Analysis
Looking at their last 10 matches, Sampdoria stand at 3W 2D 5L — 1.10 PPG. Last five: L W W L W. Offensively they are averaging 1.50 goals per game, with 1.60 conceded. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.
Sampdoria at home: 4W 2D 4L from their last 10 home games — 1.40 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.10 goals scored and 0.90 conceded per game.
Across their last 9 games, Mantova have recorded 3W 3D 3L — 1.33 PPG. Last five: L W L D D. Their scoring rate of 1.22 per game is modest, conceding 1.44 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 9 outings (22%).
On the road, Mantova have gone 0W 2D 3L in their last 5 away fixtures (0.40 PPG). Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context. Their away PPG of 0.40 is notably below their overall 1.33 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.
The form comparison is too close to call — 1.10 PPG (Sampdoria) versus 1.33 (Mantova). When the figures are this level, no pick can be reliably derived from recent results alone.
In-Play Data
Sampdoria trading profile (last 9 games, 4 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 50% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; BTTS occurs in 25% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 25% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 44%.
Mantova trading profile (last 9 games, 4 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 75% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 60% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 25% of games (away games).
From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Sampdoria 67% and Mantova 56% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Sampdoria 67% | Mantova 33%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Sampdoria 1.44 xG and Mantova 0.91 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Sampdoria attack 0.837 / defence 0.934 | Mantova attack 0.837 / defence 1.339. League average goals — home 1.281 / away 1.158. Mantova's defence rating of 1.339 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Sampdoria's projected output up. Data: built from Sampdoria's last 47 games and Mantova's last 9.
Result probabilities: Sampdoria 47% | Draw 31% | Mantova 22%. Fair-value odds: Sampdoria 2.11 | Draw 3.22 | Mantova 4.63. Sampdoria hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (31%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 41% | BTTS Yes probability 48% | Total xG 2.34. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 59% — total xG of 2.34 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 52% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.
Analysis Verdict
On the Poisson output, Sampdoria are the pick at 47% — moderate model lean. With a 31% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Sampdoria offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
On the goals line, Poisson's 2.34 combined xG gives a 59% probability to Under 2.5 — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.
Poisson assigns a 52% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Sampdoria 50% (last 10 home games) | Mantova 60% (last 5 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Sampdoria beat Mantova 1-0 at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris, Regular Season - 10, in the Serie B. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Sampdoria 1.44 xG and Mantova 0.91 xG, a combined 2.34. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Mantova landed 0.9 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Sampdoria attack 0.84 / defence 0.93 against Mantova attack 0.84 / defence 1.34, drawn from 47/9 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Sampdoria 47% | Draw 31% | Mantova 22%, with Sampdoria to win its most likely call at 47%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 41%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 70% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 48% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 50% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Sampdoria 67%, Mantova 33%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 61%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Sampdoria's trading profile (9 games, 4 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 67% of their matches — today it did not.
Mantova's trading profile (9 games, 4 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Sampdoria 1.22 PPG, Mantova 1.33 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Sampdoria win broke the near-deadlock. Mantova (home/away splits) conceded 1 against a 2.00 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). A strong night for the model: the result sat comfortably inside what the pre-match data projected.
