Modena

DDDLLD ⚠

Modena prepare for this match coming off the back of a 1-1 Serie B tied result versus Cittadella.

In that game, Modena had 45% possession and 14 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. The scorer for Modena was Luca Magnino (42'). Cittadella had 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target. Francesco Amatucci (13') was the scorer for Cittadella.

It has been all too rare in recent games that Modena have shown defensive steel. In fact, Modena have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 9 goals on the way.

Looking at their past form shows that Modena:

• haven't lost in the league to AS Bari in their previous 2 matches.
• haven't won against AS Bari in their previous 4 matches in the league.
• are without a home win in the past 4 league matches. Things will have to change soon.

AS Bari

WLLDLL

Since tasting defeat last time out to Sampdoria in Serie B action, AS Bari and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that game, AS Bari had 52% possession and 14 shots at goal with 3 on target. For their opponents, Sampdoria had 11 attempts on goal with 4 on target. Pajtim Kasami (87') scored for Sampdoria.

For 5 of the previous six clashes featuring AS Bari, a notably low volume of goals have been hit between them and opposing teams. The overall average number of goals per game within that period is a mere 1.83, with the average goals for Galletti standing at 0.5. Such a pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this game, though.

Their past results show that AS Bari:

• have left without a victory over Modena in games played away from home for the previous 2 matches in the league.
• are without a win away from home in their last 9 league games. A poor run.
