Modena and Benevento will meet on Sunday in a Serie B midtable clash. The Canaries are 13th in the Serie B table ahead of Benevento’s visit and in need of a win.
Benevento are 12th in the table and on a two-game winning streak. Head coach Fabio Cannavaro has the team on an upward trajectory in the league. The Sorcerers started the campaign slowly, but the former Juventus and Real Madrid defender has them climbing the table.
The Sorcerers took 11 points from the last six games in the league. Seven goals were scored by Benevento while five were conceded.
Modena picked up nine points from the last six matches in the division. The Canaries were outscored 10-9 across the last six games. Modena go into the match having failed to win their last two fixtures.
The Canaries picked up 11 points from eight games at home this season. They are winless in three straight games at the Alberto Braglia Stadium.
Benevento, on the other hand, are unbeaten in their last three games in the league away from home. Twelves points were taken by Benevento in their last eight fixtures away. The Sorcerers are in fine form and will fancy a result away in Modena.
Cannavaro has several players injured going into the weekend. Forward Diego Farias, Antonio La Gumina, and Camillo Ciano are all doubts to make the team due to injuries.
Defenders Gaetano Letizia and Maxime Leverbe are likely to miss due to their respective fitness issues. Midfielder Dejan Vokic could miss the game as well. Meanwhile, midfielder Ilias Koutsoupias will sit out the fixture due to a suspension.
Modena coach Attilio Tesser has four players in the Albert Braglia Stadium treatment room. Midfielders Andrea Poli, Matteo Piacentini, and Thomas Battistella are all struggling with injuries and each player could miss the game. Forward Davide Marsura is likely to miss the game due to an illness.
The Canaries are led in goals by the duo of Nicholas Bonfanti and Davide Diaw with five goals apiece. Benevento are struggling for consistency in the final third.
Francesco Forte and Antonino La Gumina have three goals apiece to lead the team. Benevento have scored just 16 goals this season. It is the third-fewest goals scored in Serie B.
Benevento are on the rise in Serie B. The Sorcerers should pick up a draw on the road to Modena on Sunday to keep their strong form going. The teams should finish 1-1 at full-time.
