Backing the hosts at the Ciro Vigorito
Tactical setup
Daniele Galloppa is creating a balance-first identity for Modena this season with his team being flexible enough to play in multiple shapes and remaining compact with a functional midfield to keep things orderly. Antonio Floro Flores has been more direct in the opposite sense, giving Benevento a compact back four and looking to transition quickly into a front-foot style suited to a high-tempo game.
Odds and prediction
I Canarini are the more likely winner in this match and Modena's 4-game losing streak and their 1 win and 4 losses from their last 5 overall certainly has them on the backfoot going into Saturday's game. However, I Canarini are just 2.28 here, whilst Modena are 3.05. The tie is also a little too short at 3.3, so we're looking for a back door into this match.
Both Teams to Score: Yes at 1.7 appears to be the best play for this Serie B clash.
Modena can make their mark
This could become a chess match early on with both sides playing to their own styles, but Benevento's direct pressing game may force the issue more often. Francesco Paolo Salvemini is Benevento's main threat in the box and he has 4 goals in the last 5 games in a spell where Benevento have scored 11 goals.
However, Modena can land a punch on the counter attack as well, having hit 6 goals in 7 away games across all competitions.
- La Strega have conceded 7 goals at home across all competitions (1.40 on average), so there's opportunity for Modena to create chances and score goals.
- Benevento have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 1 of their home matches across all competitions, so the home field advantage is a plus.
- But Modena have drawn 2 and lost 5 of their 7 away matches across all competitions, so this should remain a close and scrappy encounter.
