Pisa-Modena is a match in the 27th day of Serie B and is played Wednesday at 8:30 p.m.: odds, predictions, live TV and streaming.
There are only five points separating Pisa and Modena, but while the Tuscans are in danger of being sucked into the fight not to relegate after their double defeat to Parma and Venice, the Emilians occupy the last valid position (eighth place) to take part in the postseason. The last months of the championship, in any case, can still bring satisfaction to both, although at the moment it is Alberto Aquilani’s men who need the most points to move away from the red zone.
Since play resumed after the break, Pisa has not done badly: they beat Sampdoria and Lecco, drew against Reggiana and Cosenza but weigh the three defeats against Spezia, Parma and Venezia, two of which accrued at the Arena Garibaldi, in front of their own public. Under indictment is the defense: the Tuscans’ goal has remained inviolate only once in the last 8 matches. Modena, on the other hand, just last Sunday against Spezia (0-0) returned to record a clean sheet: it was the fourth draw in a row for Paolo Bianco’s Canarini, called to raise the bar if the goal is to remain in the playoff zone.
Pisa-Modena: latest lineup news
The former Fiorentina Primavera coach, in addition to the disqualified Marin, must give up De Vitis, Tramoni and Torregrossa, who are struggling with muscle problems. In attack, Moreo and Bonfanti are vying for a shirt.
In Modena, striker Abiuso returns as a starter, ready to partner Gliozzi. Many unavailable also for Gialloblù coach Bianco, who is without Strizzolo, Gargiulo and Guarino.
The Prediction
Two ambitious but inconsistent teams face each other, both in terms of performance and results. Following the trend of the last few days, we should expect a balanced match with at least one goal on each side.
