Preview: Suditrol Hosts Modena in Serie B Clash

BOLZANO, Italy (Interstat) — Suditrol and Modena will meet in a pivotal Serie B fixture on Saturday, with both sides seeking momentum in the final stretch of the season.

The match at Stadio Druso marks the second meeting this campaign. The teams played to a scoreless draw in Modena on Nov. 23.

Form lines have diverged recently. Modena (12-8-12) saw a four-match unbeaten run end with a 3-1 road loss to Bari on Monday. Prior to that, they secured impressive wins over Mantova (2-1) and Spezia (3-0). Their away form has been inconsistent, with just one win in their last five league travels.

Suditrol (6-14-12) arrives after a 1-1 draw at Cesena on Monday, extending its winless streak to five matches. The club has struggled at home, failing to win in its last five outings at Stadio Druso and scoring only twice in that span. Defense has been an issue, conceding three goals in three of those matches.

The statistical service Interstat projects a 1-1 draw.

Modena currently sits mid-table, largely safe from relegation but with fading hopes for a promotion playoff spot. Suditrol remains in a more precarious position, hovering just above the drop zone and in need of points to ensure safety.

Key for Modena will be translating its recent home scoring form — eight goals in its last three home games — to the road. Suditrol must find a way to convert draws into wins, having settled for a single point in 14 of its 32 matches.

Following this match, Modena faces a quick turnaround with a trip to Catanzaro on Tuesday. Suditrol’s next match is at Spezia on April 18.

Kickoff is scheduled for 4:15 p.m. local time (1415 GMT).
