Padova vs Carrarese prediction time: mark your calendars for 2026-02-10 at 19:00 GMT (20:00 local) when these two meet at the Stadio Euganeo. It’s Round 24 in Serie B, and it feels like a mid-table story with real stakes: Carrarese are hovering around 9th (about 29–30 points) while Padova sit around 13th (about 25–26 points). That’s not far apart, but the mood is different—Carrarese look steadier, Padova look like they’re still searching for a weekly identity.
Padova’s recent run has been bumpy (L-W-L-L-L-D), though the 3-3 away draw at Juve Stabia on 2026-02-07 was the kind of result that can change a dressing room’s tone. It was also unexpected given Padova were priced around 5.5 to win—proof they can punch above their weight when the game turns chaotic. The issue is that at the Euganeo, chaos hasn’t been their friend: only two home wins all season suggests they’ve often had the ball without the final bite.
Matteo Andreoletti usually sets Padova up in a 3-4-3, with proactive pressing and wide overloads. That approach often produces territory and pressure, but it can also leave space behind the wingbacks—exactly the sort of space Carrarese like to attack quickly.
Antonio Calabro’s Carrarese have been in better rhythm (D-W-W-W-L-D) and recently ground out a 0-0 with Südtirol, another sign of their improved defensive stability. They commonly shift between 3-5-2 and 3-4-2-1, prioritizing vertical play and transitions rather than long possession spells. One extra subplot: Calabro is expected to miss the touchline due to a suspension after a red card for protests, which could matter if this game becomes a chess match late on.
For the head to head, the reverse fixture on 2025-08-31 ended 0-0, a cautious game also marked by a Padova red card (Fusi). That result fits the idea of two back threes meeting and neither side wanting to gift the first mistake.
Now to the market and the model. The 1X2 odds are tight: Home 2.8, Draw 3.10, Away 3.0. That pricing screams “coin flip with opinions,” and our Padova vs Carrarese prediction leans into the away side—carefully.
The supporting match forecasts point to a controlled game with moments of punch rather than a constant storm: possession 55% Padova vs 45% Carrarese, shots 14–12, and on-target shots 4–4. That profile often produces a tight scoreline—one team may “win the ball,” the other wins the moments.
The expected final score is 1-2, with a 0-0 first half. That aligns nicely with Under 3.5: even if the second half opens up, it still lands inside the three-goal ceiling. Also worth noting: Carrarese’s squad value (€19.20m) edges Padova’s (€15.85m), a small indicator of depth—useful if energy drops late, especially with Padova’s pressing style.
Bottom line for readers looking for betting tips: Under 3.5 goals is the steadier angle, while the away win is the higher-risk sprinkle. If you want a narrative to match the numbers, imagine a quiet first half, then Carrarese turning one or two transitions into gold—while Padova wonder how they can have more of the ball and still be chasing.
