Mestre vs Montebelluna tips and predictions

Montebelluna can't hurt Mestre?

With 16 Serie D points, 11th placed Mestre host 17th placed Montebelluna. The visitors aren't far behind with 12 points.

It's a big favourite here but it's debatable that they should be so short. The price doesn't appeal even though they are likely to win.

From the off Mestre will have too much for Montebelluna. Losses have gradually been building up for this group of away players over their last 9 fixtures. They've been defeated 5 times during these 9 starts. Another defeat beckons for them here.

The home defence is tight. They'll be keen to have kept a clean sheet come the full-time whistle; they've not been caught sleeping. They've conceded only 4 goals in their last 9 games, home and away. While the hosts have looked secure at the back, the away side has been plundering goals lately. Montebelluna have conceded two or more goals in 10 of their last 12 matches. Ultimately this might be the difference between the sides.

Another reason to pick this home team is that they've won the last 9 matches between the two sides in this match-up. You can chose to ignore them but head-to-head stats favour another home win.

Mestre are justifiable favourites and it's possible they just don't give any chances away to Montebelluna. The No BTTS bet seems fair enough. And in the total goals line, it's Under 1.5 Goals picked as the best play given the current odds.
