Team News: Modena
It’s our opinion that Canarini look set to use a 3-5-2 formation this time and select Stefano Gori, Salvador Ferrer, Petko Hristov, Ales Matějů, Francesco Cassata, Ádám Nagy, Salvatore Esposito, Filippo Bandinelli, Giuseppe Aurelio, Gianluca Lapadula and F. Pio Esposito.
📋
Team News: Cesena
We’re of the thinking that Cesena seem likely to make use of a 3-4-1-2 lineup with a starting lineup of Alessandro Micai, Filippo Sgarbi, Tommaso D'Orazio, Michael Venturi, Baldovino Cimino, Mario Gargiulo, Charlys, Christian Kouan, Jahce Novello, Andrea Rizzo Pinna and Gabriele Artistico.
🔮
Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Modena will do well to be putting a goal past this Cesena outfit who we think will win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a hard-fought 0-1 winning score for Cesena when all is said and done.
A close call.
