AP Sports Preview

MILAN (Interstat) — Suditrol hosts Mantova on Saturday, April 25, 2026, in a Serie B matchup at Stadio Druso, with both clubs desperate to reverse troubling momentum.

Mantova (10-12-12) arrives after a 2-0 loss to Avellino on April 18, a defeat that extended a pattern of inconsistency. The visitors have managed just one win in their last five matches (1-2-2), though they have shown resilience on the road, including a 2-0 victory at Spezia on April 12. Overall, Mantova has struggled for goals, posting three shutouts in their last four outings.

Suditrol (6-14-14) is in considerably worse form. They suffered a 6-1 thrashing at Spezia on April 18, their fifth straight match without a victory (0-3-2). The home side has won only once in their last 10 Serie B contests and has been outscored 15-7 during that stretch. Their defense has been porous, conceding three or more goals in three of their past six matches.

The teams played to a 1-1 draw on Oct. 18, 2025, in the most recent head-to-head meeting. Interstat’s game simulator projects another 1-1 stalemate.

Mantova has fared better defensively overall, conceding 38 goals compared to Suditrol’s 46. However, the visitors have managed only 32 goals this season, the second-fewest in the division. Forward Luca Siligardi leads the team with eight goals.

Suditrol’s attack has been even more anemic, scoring a league-low 23 goals. Midfielder Matteo Rover has been the lone bright spot with six goals.

Both clubs face quick turnarounds afterward. Suditrol travels to Sampdoria on May 1, while Mantova hosts AC Monza the same day.

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time.
