Perugia form and stats

Perugia have played 15 Serie B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-5-5 (wins-draws-losses).

The Perugia club members got no joy from their last match, also played here at Stadio Renato Curi: A 1-3 defeat against Reggina (placed 7th). Curado was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.11 out of 10. The defender Curado won 14 of 18 duels.

In the match before that, Perugia hosted Frosinone and drew the game 1-1.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Perugia have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 12 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 5 and lost 5.

Perugia has scored 19 league goals at home this season, in 15 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Perugia have conceded 18 goals.

Modena form and stats

There's been little loot from Modena's travels as they have only collected 16 points from 16 away games in the Serie B. Modena only have 5 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 1 draw. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Modena's last three away games as they have all been lost.

There were no winners in Modena's previous match, the home game that ended 0-0 vs Cittadella (placed 15th). Defender Pergreffi was the best team player with a rating of 7.43. Pergreffi won 7 of 11 duels.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Palermo wasn't a success with a 2-5 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Modena playing away and similar expectations, we found 7 relevant matches. Results were 3 Modena wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

A new game in only four days for Modena, the Serie B home match versus Parma. Busy days.

Modena have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 16 league away games 19 goals have been scored. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Modena have conceded 28 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
