Sassuolo vs Modena prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - October 26, 2024
Modena
On October 26, at the "Mapei - Città del Tricolore" stadium, Sassuolo will face Modena in the 10th round of Italy's Serie B. The experts at Dailysports have prepared a match preview and prediction.
Sassuolo
Sassuolo has enjoyed a relatively long and successful period in their recent history. However, the passing of the project’s founder and the departure of coach Roberto De Zerbi led to a steady decline. Last season marked the inevitable conclusion as the team was unable to gather enough points to remain in Serie A.
Determined not to linger in the second division, Sassuolo entrusted Fabio Grosso with leading their return. The former Italy defender had a rough start, winning just one of the first four matches. However, they bounced back, defeating Lecce in the cup and dropping points only against Spezia in a 0-0 draw. More impressively, Sassuolo crushed Brescia 5-2 away.
Modena
Modena is a fairly typical example of a football project with modest achievements and recurring financial issues, forcing a near-complete restart in 2018. This rebuild, however, allowed them to quickly ascend back to Serie B, where they have been playing since 2020. Last season, the "Canaries" finished 10th.
Their start to this season has been less than ideal. While they put up a fight against Napoli in the cup and secured home victories against Bari and Juve Stabia, defeats have outweighed their successes. Their most recent outing against Palermo ended in a 2-2 draw.
