Preview: AC Monza Hosts Modena in Serie B Clash

ROME (Interstat) — A crucial Serie B matchup with playoff implications is set for Friday as AC Monza hosts Modena at Stadio Brianteo.

The contest, scheduled for April 24, 2026, pits a surging Monza side against a Modena team seeking to reverse a recent slide. The visitors will also be looking for redemption after a 2-1 home loss to Monza in the reverse fixture on Dec. 26, 2025.

Monza enters with strong momentum, coming off a dominant 3-0 away victory over Sampdoria last Friday. The Brianzoli have lost just once in their last seven league matches, a run that includes impressive wins over Bari and Palermo. Their defensive solidity has been key, recording four clean sheets in that span.

Modena’s form has been inconsistent. After a promising stretch in March that featured wins over Spezia and Mantova, the Canarini have stumbled recently. They are winless in their last four outings (0-2-2), including a 2-1 home defeat to Frosinone last Saturday. Their away record has been a particular concern, with just one victory in their last five road trips.

The statistical outlook favors the hosts. Interstat’s game simulator projects a narrow 1-0 victory for AC Monza.

A win for Monza would solidify their position in the promotion chase as the season enters its final weeks. For Modena, currently mired in a difficult patch, securing a positive result is vital to keep their playoff hopes alive and gain ground before hosting Reggiana on May 1.

Monza will travel to face Mantova in their next league fixture, also scheduled for May 1.
