Hellas Verona – Padova

Hellas Verona host Padova in what promises to be a tightly‑contested clash at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi, with both sides sitting on seven points. Verona sit sixth in the table, their two wins offset by two defeats and a draw, but they hold a slim +3 goal difference (10 scored, 7 conceded) that could prove decisive. Padova, occupying the eleventh spot, mirror Verona’s record of two victories, one stalemate and two losses, yet trail on goal difference at –1 after netting five and letting in six. The fixture offers Verona a chance to widen the gap to the mid‑table, while Padova will be eager to close the distance and climb out of the lower half of the standings.
