DWLLLW

Reggiana are hoping to win again following a 1-2 Serie B victory vs Palermo.

In that match, Reggiana managed 45% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. For Reggiana, the goals were scored by Manolo Portanova (52') and Paolo Rozzio (66'). For their opponents, Palermo had 16 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. Matteo Brunori (35') scored for Palermo.

It’s been seldom in recent games where Reggiana have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Reggiana have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 10 goals during that time.

Ahead of this clash, Reggiana are without a home win in the past 7 league games. That's never good.

Modena

Modena head into the encounter following a 1-0 Serie B win to beat Südtirol-Alto Adige in their most recent fixture.

In that match, Modena had 34% possession and 3 attempts at goal with 2 on target. The scorer for Modena was Giovanni Zaro (67'). At the other end, Sudtirol got 7 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target.

It is worth noting that Modena have made hard work of scoring goals in their past 6 games, recording the unsatisfactory return of just 4. In those matches, Canarini have also seen the overall goal tally of opposing teams equal 5. We shall soon see if that trend will be sustained into this next match.

Their past results show that Modena:

• haven't been defeated in their previous 6 league matches away from home.
• are without a win away from home in their last 11 league games. Who knows how long it might last, too.

📋 Team News: Modena

Modena manager Paolo Bianco has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Mario Gargiulo (Foot surgery) and Gabriele Guarino (muscular problems) can’t be considered.

We reckon that Canarini might play in a 4-3-1-2 lineup with a starting lineup of Riccardo Gagno, Matteo Cotali, Giovanni Zaro, Antonio Pergreffi, Niccolò Corrado, Thomas Battistella, Simone Santoro, Luca Magnino, Antonio Palumbo, Ettore Gliozzi and Luca Strizzolo.

⚡ Prediction

Looking at these two, we feel that Modena and Reggiana could both end up scoring in a what should be a good tussle with little between the two teams.

Let’s see how this one goes, but it looks this could be a draw. We’re therefore anticipating a tight encounter with a 1-1 scoreline after 90 minutes.
