Modena
Sassuolo
On April 12, "Alberto Braglia" will host the 33rd round match of Serie B in Italy, where "Modena" will face "Sassuolo". I suggest betting on goals / cards / winner for this match.
"Modena"
The team managed to spend a dozen seasons in Serie A, including in this century - the last relegation dates back to 2004. Since then, not only have they failed to return to the "elite", but they've even faced bankruptcy. However, this was the rock bottom from which the renewed project quickly bounced back to Serie B. They've been playing there since 2022, and last season they managed to finish in the top 10 with 47 points.
Currently, Paolo Mandelli's squad is hovering around the "mid-table", with an almost equal number of wins and losses. March ended with a 2-1 home victory over "Catanzaro", and they repeated this score against one of the leaders - "Pisa".
"Sassuolo"
The club spent the last decade in Serie A and even made appearances in European competitions. However, firstly, the death of the project's creator and secondly, the unfulfilled stable trust in Dionisi led to problems. Alessio, having taken over the team from De Zerbi in eighth position, was only dismissed in 2024 when the inevitable relegation to the second division occurred.
However, it's already clear they didn't linger here. The current manager, Fabio Grosso, is justifying the faith placed in him. He quickly organized his new charges, and they are dominating Serie B unconditionally. Yet, in the last round, they unexpectedly lost 3-5 at "Palermo".
Match Facts
- "Modena" has won twice in their recent matches
- On average, "Modena" scores 1.25 goals and concedes 1.19 goals per match

Head-to-Head
In the last five head-to-head matches, the home side has strictly won - this streak began back in 2012.
Modena vs Sassuolo Prediction
Bookmakers are predictably expecting the leaders to redeem themselves in front of their fans. But for now, let's play it safe by adding a "draw no bet" option (odds - 1.68).
