Padova – Modena

Padova host Modena in what promises to be a decisive clash in the lower half of the table. The home side sit fifth with seven points from five games – two wins, a draw and two defeats, and a modest -1 goal difference after scoring five and conceding six. Modena, currently fourth, enjoy a slight edge with ten points, having recorded three victories, one stalemate and only one loss, and they boast a healthy +4 goal difference, netting eight while allowing four. The three‑point gap means Modena will be looking to consolidate their push for the top spots, while Padova will hope to turn their season around and close the distance. A win for either side could reshape the mid‑table scramble as the season progresses.
