Palermo host Mantova in the Coppa Italia, with Filippo Inzaghi's side looking to continue their encouraging start to the season on home soil.
Palermo have hit the ground running this campaign. Three wins from their last four competitive matches, including a 2-0 Coppa Italia victory over Lecce in the previous round, point to a squad with genuine momentum. New goalkeeper Mattia Perin, who joined from Juventus on a permanent deal, adds experience and quality to a squad building toward a Serie A return.
The Sicilian club's Serie B form backs that up. Back-to-back wins over Catanzaro and Juve Stabia were followed by an impressive 2-3 victory away at Arezzo, suggesting Inzaghi has his team well-organised and capable of scoring on the road.
Mantova arrive in strong shape of their own. Francesco Modesto's side have won three of their last five matches, with a 0-2 win at Lazio in the Coppa Italia and a 3-1 Serie B success against Empoli among their recent results.
The two clubs know each other well from Serie B. Their last four meetings have produced just one decisive result, a 2-1 Palermo win in March 2026, with draws a recurring theme between these sides.
This Coppa Italia tie offers both clubs a chance to progress and build confidence ahead of a demanding Serie B season. Read on for everything you need to know about how and where to watch.

Form
Palermo head into this match with four wins from their last five, conceding only twice across that run. Their most recent outing was a 2-3 win at Arezzo in Serie B on August 30, and they also beat Juve Stabia 1-0 in their previous league fixture. A 2-0 Coppa Italia win over Lecce in August underlines their cup credentials. Their only defeat in this stretch was a 2-0 friendly loss to Juventus.
Mantova have also been in solid form, winning three of their last five matches. Their most recent result was a 3-1 Serie B win over Empoli on August 30. They beat Lazio 0-2 in the Coppa Italia on August 16 and claimed a 3-2 Serie B victory over Monza earlier in the year. Their only heavy defeat was a 5-0 loss to Frosinone in May, which stands out as an outlier against an otherwise competitive record.
