Modena
- Modena, 8th in Serie B, are only four points and one place above Carrarese, 9th, with both clubs having played 23 games.
- Modena have collected 34 points and Carrarese 30.
- Andrea Sottil has done a fine job since taking charge of Modena in June 2025, installing a high-energy, high-pressing system that transitions from defence to attack in an instant.
Carrarese
- Carrarese are a fine football team themselves, coached with real flair by Nicola Antonio Calabro since January 2024.
- Their compact 3-5-2 or 4-3-1-2 systems are designed to clog the middle of the field, absorb pressure and punish teams when they concede possession.
- Fabio Abiuso is their biggest attacking weapon with eight goals in 22 Serie B matches, including three in his last five games.
Head-to-Head
- Carrarese have failed to win on their last visit to Modena.
- Modena have not won either of their last two home Serie B games, D1, L1.
Key Players
- Ettore Gliozzi
- The team is built around energetic wing-backs and an in-form Ettore Gliozzi, who is the talisman and Serie B’s most feared striker with 10 goals in 23 appearances.
- Fabio Abiuso
- Fabio Abiuso is their biggest attacking weapon with eight goals in 22 Serie B matches, including three in his last five games.
Betting Insights
- This has the makings of a real chess match with Modena having the home advantage and Carrarese arriving in much better form, W3, D1, L1 in their last five.
- They won 3-0 at home against Empoli two weeks ago, so it’s no surprise that the bookmakers are making Modena, odds 1.53, the overwhelming favorites for this clash.
- But Carrarese, odds 6.0, are too big on the moneyline here and the draw, 4.0, is also a little generous when you consider the visitors have one win and one defeat from their last two away matches, a 2-1 loss at mid-table Venezia.
- Carrarese have won only two, drawn four and lost five away in Serie B this season, but they have scored 15 goals in 11 games away from home so they can hurt their hosts on the counterattack on Saturday.
Prediction
Both teams to score may be a tempting alternative to the moneyline wagers on this matchup of contrasting styles, but our recommendation is to take Modena to edge it because of their vertical style, home advantage and the fact that Carrarese did not win on their last trip to Modena.
