Modena-Sudtirol is a match of the thirty-eighth day of Serie B and is played on Friday at 8:30 pm: lineups, predictions, TV and streaming.
Last Saturday’s defeat to Benevento dashed Modena’s dream of latching on to the last playoff spot in extremis. With only 90 minutes left to play, Attilio Tesser’s canarini are no longer in a position to catch up with eighth-placed Palermo: should they finish tied on points with the Sicilians, they would have the worst of the direct clashes.
The Gialloblù lineup can nevertheless rejoice in the fact that they have been saved directly and even with a certain advance: a non-trivial achievement for a team that only found B again last year after a long absence. In any case, a pinch of regret remains for a postseason that could have been reached if in the last two months of the championship Tremolada and his teammates had scored a few more victories: Modena’s only success from mid-March onward was the one with Perugia, for the rest four draws and three defeats in the same partial. On the other hand, the surprising Sudtirol, another newly promoted team, is hunting for the three points to definitively secure that third place that would allow them to skip the first round of the playoffs. Pierpaolo Bisoli’s men, who have achieved a veritable masterpiece, are masters of their own destiny despite having Parma and Cagliari on their heels, ready to overtake them in case of a misstep by the Alto Adige. In the event of finishing tied on points with the Sardinians and the Emilians – they have only one point less – Sudtirol would have the better of both the direct clashes and in the eventual break-even standings.
Modena-Sudtirol: latest lineup news
Tesser will not have central defender Cittadini, disqualified: his place will be contested by Silvestri and De Maio. In attack we will see Tremolada again behind Mosti and Diaw.
Mosti of Modena
Scholastic 4-4-2 for Bisoli, who will rely on his starters. In midfield space for Tait, while up front the coach will ask Mazzocchi and Odogwu for goals.
The Prediction
In this match there is only one team still playing for something and that is Sudtirol. Bisoli’s lineup, the big surprise of the tournament, should get the better of a Modena that has nothing left to aspire to. Total goals are likely to be less than four: the guests have kept their goal unbeaten in three of the last four days.
The probable lineups of Modena-Sudtirol
- MODENA (4-3-1-2): Gagno; Oukhadda, Silvestri, Pergreffi, Ponsi; Magnino, Gerli, Duca; Tremolada; Mosti, Diaw.
- SUDTIROL (4-4-2): Poluzzi; Curto, Zaro, Masiello, Celli; Carretta, Tait, Belardinelli, Rover; Mazzocchi, Odogwu.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 0-2
