Juve Stabia (home)
- Juve Stabia have an unbeaten home record in Serie B, winning six and drawing six of their 12 matches.
- Juve Stabia's last three games saw a 3-3 home draw with Calcio Padova, a battling 2-1 away win at Empoli and a narrow 2-1 loss at Monza.
- Ignazio Abate has been clever with Juve Stabia, mixing up his systems to suit opponents and giving his side a flexible feel.
Modena (away)
- Modena have a solid away record in Serie B, avoiding defeat in their last two away games (W1, D1).
- The form book looks good for Modena going into this weekend’s meeting as they have won two, drawn two and lost just one of their last five.
- Andrea Sottil has made Modena a force to be reckoned with in Serie B by deploying a system that utilises the width of the wingbacks to create overloads in the final third, while the high tempo of their ball circulation and off-the-ball pressing game helps them to turn opponents over and create chances.
- Modena are a similar type of outfit away from home, conceding just 0.67 goals per match in Serie B (eight total), but they are a high tempo side with a bit more of an attacking edge to them.
Key Players
- Leonardo Candellone is their most dangerous player, bagging seven goals in 19 Serie B games, but they are perhaps not as potent up front as Modena, who have Ettore Gliozzi to call upon.
- The striker has netted ten times in 25 Serie B matches, making him a serious threat.
Betting Insights
- Juve Stabia will be a tough test at 3.2, while the tie is listed at 2.98, but the hosts haven’t lost at home all season and that is the main reason for a draw prediction.
- Under 2.5 goals looks a decent option at 1.57, but our recommendation is to stick with the draw, which covers a scenario of two defensive minded clubs cancelling each other out.
