Serie B 2025-2026: Mantua-Padova, the probable formations

Mantova and Padova face each other at 3 p.m. at Martelli Stadium in the match valid for the 12th day of Serie B. The Virgilians are penultimate but gave a signal in the last round by overcoming Sampdoria in the salvation clash in Genoa; the Paduans are 11th although the last three consecutive draws have slowed down the progress of Andreoletti&#8217s lineup.

The team is in the top ten.

Possanzini is banking everything on the Fiori-Mancuso-Ruocco trident. In the midfield are Paoletti, Artioli and Trimboli, on the flanks Radaelli and Bani.

Padua is without the disqualified Barreca and the injured Di Maggio, Lasagna, Pastina and Bacci: In attack pairing Buonaiuto-Bortolussi, in midfield Fusi along with Crisetig and Varas.
