On March 8, a match of the 29th round of Serie B in Italy will take place at the "Arechi", where "Salernitana" will face "Modena". I propose a bet on goals/cards/winner for this match.
"Salernitana"
The team may be remembered by long-time Italian football fans for its attempt to make a mark at the end of the last century. But back then, it only made it to Serie A for a year. Everyone thought that their return to the Italian football elite would be the same. However, the underdog surprised pleasantly twice, earning enough points to extend its "stay". Everything fell apart only in 2023/2024. But it was complete - the club turned into a hopeless outsider and prematurely took the last, 20th place.
Moreover, even at a simpler level now, in Serie B, nothing has particularly improved. But it's not all doom and gloom: since mid-winter, the team doesn't lose that often and even beat "Reggiana" and "Cremonese". "Cesena" in the last round secured a confident 2-0 victory at home against this opponent.
"Modena"
The club has spent the lion's share of its history in Serie B. There were instances, quite a while ago, where they managed to climb higher, but not for long. The project recently survived bankruptcy, returning in 2018. It quickly overcame the lower divisions, and since 2022, it plays again in Serie B. They closed the last season decently, finishing in the top 10 in the final table.
The team is performing at the same level in the current campaign. It has almost an equal number of wins and losses and many draws. That's not enough to claim anything, but enough not to seriously worry about "survival". They also managed a 1-1 with "Cosenza".
Match Facts
- "Salernitana" lost two out of the last three matches
- On average, "Salernitana" scores 0.93 goals and concedes 1.39 goals per match
- "Modena" has lost only twice in the last sixteen matches
H2H
Both of the last head-to-head matches, in 2016 and December, ended in draws.
Salernitana vs Modena Prediction
Bookmakers are favorable to the home team, but they are in crisis. Against such an opponent, the visitors can manage not to lose again (odds - 1.615).
