- Venezia have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five matches.
- Modena are on a three-match losing streak.
- Venezia have conceded just twice in their four home matches in all competitions this season, winning all.
Stylistic clash in store
SSC Venezia enter this weekend's Coppa Italia tie as the clear favourites at 1.48, with Modena sitting as distant long shots at 6.25. The draw comes in at 4.2, and if we are to have a look at the H2H record, there may be some sense in backing the visitors, who edged out a 2-0 win in this fixture 6 months ago in the 2025/2026 Serie B season.
That result gave Modena one of their few scalps against the league's bigger fish and even though they have a record across the last five H2Hs (W1, D1, L3), the canarini enter Saturday's clash in poor form.
Giovanni Stroppa has been in charge of Venezia since 1st July 2025 and he has implemented a possession-first 3-5-2 system that allows his side to stay structured, be patient and not lose their shape. Daniele Galloppa has been in the Modena dugout since 13th June 2026 and he favours a very different style of play, high-tempo, high-press and vertical.
Venezia to win a tight cup tie
SSC Venezia have won six, drawn three and lost just one of their last ten across all competitions, a strong run that they should be able to carry into this game. They've lost momentum just slightly with their most recent two results, a 4-3 defeat at AS St. Etienne and a 2-2 draw at Stade Brestois, but this should be a tougher game and a return to winning ways should be expected.
Modena, on the other hand, have managed just two wins, two draws and six defeats in their last ten. Their previous two results have been a 1-0 defeat at home to Juve Stabia and a 1-0 loss away to Cagliari. The canarini are struggling in the current season and look unlikely to improve those odds with another away game.
Venezia have averaged 2.3 goals at home against Modena, conceding just twice in the process, while Modena have scored just 1.3 goals, so a Venezia win and over 2.5 goals looks the most natural angle of attack.
