Cosenza form and stats

The season before, Cosenza's league statistics were 8 wins, 11 draws and 19 losses, providing 16th spot in the Serie B. During these 38 matches they scored 36 goals and gave away 59. Playing as the home team in the previous season Cosenza delivered 8-3-8 (win-draw-lost) with 21 goals and 23 conceded.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Kristjan Matosevic not having conceded a league goal in 180 minutes.

Happy days for Cosenza in their previous game, a fixture away at Benevento (placed 16th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. At last, a league win after three matches without. Goalkeeper Matošević got the top rating on the team in that game; 7.44 out of ten. Matošević topped it up with a clean sheet.

This is expected to be a close game, with Cosenza perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Cosenza as a small favourite), we find 8 games. Cosenza has won 4 of these, drawn 1 and lost 3.

Modena form and stats

Let's have a look at how Modena performed last season in the Serie C: Girone B: They landed a 1st position in the league table after playing out 27 victories, 7 draws and 4 defeats. In total they scored 69 and conceded 25 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 13 - drew 4 and lost 2 with 31/12 goals scored/conceded.

This game can not go any worse than the previous one, the home loss versus Frosinone with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Oukhadda was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.25. The defender Oukhadda hit the woodwork once and won 8 of 10 duels.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 5 similar matches played by Modena in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Modena, 1 draw and 0 defeats.
