Modena
- Modena may be only sixth in Serie B, with 47 points from 30 games, but their momentum has been growing and they look likely to hold onto playoff aspirations into 2025-2026 after an encouraging campaign.
- Andrea Sottil has fashioned an adaptable and high-tempo style since taking over in June 2025, with Modena possessing vertical speed in behind and pressing qualities in front of the ball.
-
This team has a strong home record in Serie B, with seven wins, four draws and just five losses, while they have averaged 1.44 goals-per-game on their home turf this season.

Mantova
- Mantova enter this game 11th in Serie B, with 34 points from 31 matches, and they are fighting to distance themselves from the relegation battle, with relatively strong recent form.
- Francesco Modesto has injected some tempo into the team since taking charge in December 2025, moving from a rigid, structured system to a more wing-back-based, high-tempo approach.
- They smashed Cesena 3-0 at home in their most recent match.
Key Players
- Ettore Gliozzi is the main threat, with 11 goals in 30 Serie B games this term, but Simone Santoro has been in fine form of late, providing three assists in Modena’s last five games.
- Davide Bragantini has scored three goals in his last five appearances, while Francesco Ruocco remains Mantova’s main striker with seven in 19 Serie B appearances.
Head-to-Head
The away team have never won in Modena , and Modena have won twice in their last three meetings with them, so back the hosts.
Betting Insights
Modena have won seven home games this season, and with Mantova having won just two of their 15 away games in Serie B this campaign, conceding an average of 1.40 goals per game , the odds-on for a home win makes sense.
Prediction
The two teams have different styles and their clash should be a tactical game of chess, but Modena have the edge in terms of momentum and we’re supporting Sottil ’s side to get the win at 1.65 .
