Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Buoyed by thrilling back-to-back wins over Cittadella (6-1) and Brescia (5-2), Sassuolo will look to overtake Spezia in second place when they face Modena on Saturday afternoon. The Neroverdi have been scoring goals for fun of late and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Modena. The good news for the hosts is that key forward Domenico Berardi has overcome his long-term injury. There are no injury worries in the home team this time out.
The Canarini, on the other hand, are sitting in 15th place in the standings, just above the relegation zone. Modena failed to win the previous three league matches and given Sassuolo’s splendid form, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the promotion-chasing hosts. Pedro Mendes misses out with injury for the away team, while both Giuseppe Caso and Gregoire Defrel remain doubtful.
