Padova
- Padova are coming into this game on the back of a 3-game losing streak.
- Antonio Nicola Calabro took charge of Padova on 13 June 2026 and the Biancoscudati have started Serie B 2026/2027 in decent enough fashion, sitting 15th with 7 points from 7 games.
- However, things have unraveled a little for Calabro's team in recent weeks, with Padova having 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses at home.
- Padova's last 3 games saw them lose away to Palermo, lose at home to Carrarese and Virtus Entella in a mini run that has knocked them sideways.
Sudtirol
- Davide Possanzini has been less reserved in his approach since taking the helm on 24 June 2026.
- His side have pressed higher up the pitch, moved the ball more quickly and made use of the spaces created by their wing-backs in a 3-5-2 system.
- Sudtirol sit 5th in Serie B 2026/2027 with 12 points from their opening 7 games, so they look the sharper side on the table.
- Biancorossi have also won only 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 5 matches, so they won't be travelling to Padova on Tuesday with full confidence.
- Sudtirol have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their Serie B 2026/2027 away games, averaging 1.67 goals away, while they have already scored 5 goals on the road this season.
Head-to-Head
- FC Sudtirol Bolzano have failed to beat Padova only once in the last 2 head-to-head meetings.
- Sudtirol won the last meeting 3-0 at home in Serie B 2025/2026, while Padova have not beaten them in their last home meeting.
Key Players
- Matteo Cocchi has been a creative spark for Calabro's men in Serie B 2026/2027, supplying 2 assists in 5 games, while Christian Pastina is their top scorer in Serie B 2026/2027 with 1 goal in 5 games.
- Kenny Mixtur, who has netted 2 goals in his 3 Serie B 2026/2027 appearances so far, gives Possanzini's men their sharpest edge.
Betting Insights
This has the feel of a Serie B mid-table game to me, with Padova only just edging the odds at 2.3 , while Sudtirol are on the underdog side at 3.07 and the tie at 3.2 .
Prediction
The draw certainly looks a live possibility in this game, but I'm leaning towards a narrow home win , with Sudtirol's away form a little shaky and Padova's home form not great either.
