Sudtirol's equivalent sample reads four wins, ten draws and six losses, with 19 goals for and 25 against. They've drawn far more often than they've won, but they've lost less frequently than Padova across this wider run of games.
Neither club's longer record on its own points to a convincing home edge or away threat.

Further back, their meetings from the Serie C days were mostly tight and low-scoring, with plenty of draws and one-goal margins either way. It's an old rivalry from the third tier, so it's not much of a guide to this fixture, but it does show two sides that have often cancelled each other out.
The most recent meetings have leant Sudtirol's way, though the sample is small.
Early-season table
As things stand, Sudtirol sit second with 11 points from five league games, having won three and drawn two without losing. Padova are down in sixth on seven points, having won two, drawn one and lost two of their opening five fixtures.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Palermo | 5 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 10/5 | 13 |
| 2 | Sudtirol | 5 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 9/3 | 11 |
| 3 | Mantova | 5 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 10/5 | 11 |
| 5 | Ascoli | 5 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 7/4 | 10 |
| 6 | Padova | 5 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 5/6 | 7 |
| 7 | Benevento | 5 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 6/5 | 7 |
It's a small sample so far, but the gap is clear. Sudtirol have scored nine and conceded just three, while Padova have scored five and conceded six.
On the current table, Sudtirol look the more settled of the two sides.
Players to watch
Sudtirol's K. Mixtur has scored twice in three appearances, an encouraging early scoring rate worth keeping an eye on.
On discipline, Padova's P. Fusi has picked up two yellow cards in five games, while Sudtirol's G. Stabile has already been sent off once in three matches this term. It's only a partial picture rather than full squad news, but worth noting given the match is still over a month away.

What to expect
Put the pieces together and we see a bit of a contrast. Sudtirol's longer run of matches across competitions hasn't been spectacular, but their early league form is clearly the stronger of the two right now. Padova, by contrast, have struggled at times across their wider sample, and two defeats already blot their opening five league games.
With over a month between this snapshot and kickoff, both sides have time to shift that picture. But right now, the early signs suggest Sudtirol arrive with more confidence than a home Padova side still searching for consistency.

There's no market attached here, so there's nothing to weigh up on price. Even setting that aside, the picture doesn't point clearly one way: Sudtirol's early league form is decent, but their longer sample doesn't back it up strongly, and Padova haven't offered much at home to lean on either.
Given the gap before kickoff and the lack of a clean signal either way, this is one to leave alone for now.
