Season ticket holders at Stadio Comunale Euganeo haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Padova languishing in the 19th position so far. The guesting Cosenza will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

It's quite the trip for Cosenza when visiting Padova as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.
