Once again Modena lost at home; they took only one point in the last five matches and they already feel the pressure, since if they don't win Ravenna they could have huge problems till the end of the season. The numbers are shocking, canaries have gone 15 games without a win; they are the weakest team in the second part of the season and it might happen that they end up in the play-out. Not even the change of coach helped, Zorrato took a point on his debut in Bari, but the match against Rondinelle saw them fall again. Third victory in four games gave hope to Ravenna, they beat Messina in Romagna thanks to excellent Sforzini's strike but they are still in the relegation zone. They are hosting Pisa and Cesena till the end, victories in these matches could help them claw their way to play-out, which would be quite a feat if you have in mind that they were considered relegated a month ago.

Modena have many problems at Braglia

No matter who the coach may be, the canaries are tense, they have problems with catenaccio and constant injuries of the best player Pinardi are no excuse. There is no necessary chemistry in the squad, they are the group of good individuals who together seem completely disorganized. The squad that has the combination of youth and experience are playing weaker and weaker as the season goes by. Bartolo Mutti got fired but he is obviously not the only problem. The pressure of the fans is huge, some players were even physically in danger this spring and the situation inside the squad is very bad. There is no real support form the stands and this season is the toughest for Modena in the last decade, even tougher than the last one when they barely survived in the finish.

Ravenna are pathetic away

There is no hope for them. Aside from the victory over Rimini against regional rivals, they were losing easily and defense is the worst in the league. However, Ravenna are not giving up, they fight great and attacking tandem Succi-Sforzini is one of the most dangerous in the league. Ravenna must play for goal margin since they always concede more than two goals away. This equals to suicide in Serie B so it is clear why they have spent the whole season on the wrong end of the standings. They have nothing to lose in this game, Varrella probably won't choose a defensive tactics, they can gain a lot if they use the fact that Modena are playing under pressure.

Betting Verdict

This is the clash of two weak sides, Modena will be stronger than in the last few matches, but Ravenna are the squad that can score at any time. It seems that a draw will suit neither of the sides; an early goal could open the game completely. When Ravenna play, especially away, over 2.5 goals is always a good choice and this time the odds are around 2.00.

Team news : Ungari and Pani are out for Modena. Ravenna would be complete.
