Mantova – Hellas Verona

Mantova host Hellas Verona at Stadio Danilo Martelli with the home side perched just two points off the top, sitting second on 14 points after four wins, two draws and a single loss, and boasting a solid 13‑8 goal difference. Verona, meanwhile, languish in 12th place with eight points from two victories, two draws and three defeats, their attack outpacing their defence at 14‑12. The clash pits Mantova’s strong defensive record against Verona’s slightly more prolific but leaky forward line, promising a tactical battle for the three points. A win for Mantova could tighten the race at the summit, while Verona will be desperate to climb out of the lower mid‑table.
