Modena form and stats

Seven points from three Serie B home games is a great start for Modena, who are hoping to build on that form here at Stadio Alberto Braglia.

Modena haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 268 minutes ago. Falcinelli scored that one. Nothing to worry about in defence for Modena, as their goalkeeper Riccardo Gagno has completely shut out the opponents for 261 minutes in the Serie B.

The Modena coach Bianco and his pawns return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Sudtirol (placed 6th). Midfielder Magnino was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.13 (out of ten) in that game. Magnino hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 57 successful passes (of 68 total).

Before that, Modena drew at home versus Lecco.

This is expected to be a close game, with Modena perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Modena as a small favourite), we find 10 games. Modena has won 3 of these, drawn 4 and lost 3.

Early season league goal statistics from Modena's 3 home games: {3 goals}, 0 conceded.

Venezia form and stats

Venezia are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Serie B, having played 3 games and collected 5 points (1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses).

Venezia's previous game was their home loss versus Palermo (1-3). Until that loss this side had won at least a draw from six league rounds in a row. Midfield player Tessmann was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.22/10. Tessmann hit two key passes and had 56 successful passes (of 66 total).

Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Brescia.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Venezia playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were 6 Venezia wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats.

The attacking power of Venezia when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. The Venezia defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average ({1 goals} in 3 games).

Head 2 Head

Venezia have avoided a loss in the last 4 matches (3-1-0) facing Modena.
