Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Spal and Modena go head to head at Stadio Paolo Mazza in what is expected to be a close Serie B encounter. Spal aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Benevento and Brescia, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Modena. Defender Alberto Almici remains on the sidelines with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
I Canarini, on the other hand, did remarkably well to beat Parma on the road, with the team climbing to 12th place in the standings. Modena have been showing signs of improvement of late, and given SPAL’s anything but good form, away win should be considered. Mario Gargiulo is sidelined with a leg injury, while fellow midfielder Thomas Battistella is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. It has to be noted that the two teams meet for the first time since January 2001.
Highlighted Player (Alberto Pomini):
Alberto Pomini is a 185-cm-tall goalkeeper who played for Verona during his youth career. In 2001 he moved to San Marino and he made 17 league appearances for the club in the Serie C2. At the end of the season he signed a deal with Bellaria and after playing 20 games for the club, he moved to Sassuolo in 2004.
Pomini played for the Neroverdi in the Serie C2 back then, but the club have been making progress year by year. Sassuolo are currently playing in the Italian top flight, but it has to be noted that Pomini did not see any game action in the 2015/2016 Serie A campaign. The Italian goalkeeper wore No. 17 on his shirt between 2008 and 2012, but following Davide Bassi’s departure he received number 1 shirt.
Alberto Pomini was born in Isola della Scala, Italy on 17 March, 1981. He has a contract with Sassuolo which expires at the end of the 2016/2017 Serie A campaign. His agent is Danilo Caravello.
