Calcio Padova presents decidedly better form and match record compared to Mantova. The hosts have earned 1.6 points per match in their last five games, posting a 2-2-1 record, while the visitors average just 0.4 points per match with a 0-2-3 run. Mantova sits in a very low 19th position in the table and has a dismal away record – only 11% wins, a staggering 67% losses, and a worrying rate of 67% of away matches without scoring a goal. Additionally, the visitors have a negative goal difference of -7 in away matches, while Padova has a neutral balance of 0 at home. Mantova's form in their last five away matches (llldlwlld) is very poor, which, combined with the hosts' decent performance at their own stadium (22% wins, 56% draws), argues for a Calcio Padova victory. A draw is also possible due to Padova's high number of home draws, but the visitors' offensive weakness makes their victory unlikely.
