- The hosts are winless in their last two matches - drawing both 0-0 with the result suggesting that they are more solid than potent in the offensive third.

- Gregucci’s team are flexible and adapt their style based on the game state, but are generally more reactive than proactive.

Betting Insights
- Modena are favourites here at 1.84, but Sampdoria are a good value 4.7 chance for a result.
- While Sampdoria are in better form, Modena’s home record (W5, D3, L3) is far superior and Sampdoria have been woeful away from home this term, failing to win any of their 11 away games (D4, L7) and scoring just seven goals.
