📋 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.

ℹ️ 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.
