Modena (home)
- Modena have won six, drawn four and lost five of their 15 home league games in Serie B this season.
- Modena are 6th in Serie B with 44 points from 29 games, while Spezia are 18th on 29 points from the same amount of matches played.
- Andrea Sottil took over as Modena coach in June 2025 and has installed an aggressive, high-pressure style of play that his side are attempting to stick to, although it hasn’t always worked as planned.
- They are playing a 3-5-2 system that aims to press opponents into mistakes and then counter-attack quickly, ideally through the wing-backs, who provide their most direct route to goal.
Spezia (away)
- Spezia have won just three, drawn four and lost seven of their 14 away Serie B games to date.
- Roberto Donadoni has brought a more pragmatic approach to Spezia since his appointment in November 2025 and they have a much more structured, risk-aware style of playing.
- Their most recent 3 games have seen a 0-0 home defeat, a 2-2 away draw at Calcio Padova and a 4-2 home victory against Monza, and Spezia have taken 4 points from their last 2 away matches and are undefeated.
Head-to-Head
Both teams have won one and drawn one of the last three meetings between the clubs in Serie B.
Key Players
- Luca Zanimacchia is a decent support striker on 2 goals in Modena’s last 5 games.
- Ettore Gliozzi’s 10 strikes in 29 Serie B appearances is a greater threat to the opposition’s defense.
- Gabriele Artistico is Spezia’s top scorer on 10 goals in 24 Serie B outings, having scored 5 of their last 9 goals.
Betting Insights

- We also like both teams to score at 1.94.
- The odds of 1.75 for under 2.5 goals are good value.
