🗞️ Team News: Modena

We think that Canarini will probably use a 3-5-2 formation for this game and select Leandro Chichizola, Daniel Tonoli, Davide Adorni, Bryant Nieling, Francesco Zampano, Samuel Wiafe, Fabio Gerli, Simone Santoro, Luca Zanimacchia, Manuel De Luca and Ettore Gliozzi.

📋 Team News: Mantova

There’s a good chance that Virgiliani could decide to elect for a 3-4-2-1 formation by sending out Francesco Bardi, Andrea Meroni, Stefano Cella, Alessio Castellini, Ali Dembélé, Simone Trimboli, Rachid Kouda, Fahem Benaissa-Yahia, Tommaso Marras, Nicolò Buso and Davis Mensah.

🔮 Prediction

We feel that Modena should see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

Conversely, Mantova might well find it a difficult task to get shooting opportunities but we do fancy them hitting back at some stage.

We can therefore see a comfortable 3-1 victory for Modena when all’s said and done.
