Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Modena will be aiming to put an end to their four-game winless run in the Serie B when they take on Brescia on Saturday afternoon. The Canarini do not seem to be at their sharpest, but this match could be the turning point for the home side. Midfielder Mario Gargiulo is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Le Rondinelle, on the other hand, aim to climb to the playoffs berth, but beating Modena on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Goalkeeper Luca Lezzerini misses out with an elbow injury, while Mohamed Fares is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. Experienced Brescia head coach Rolando Maran is likely to stick to the 3-4-2-1 formation.
Highlighted Team (Brescia):
Hosting their rivals at Stadio Mario Rigamonti, the stadium with the capacity of 16,743, Brescia are Italian team founded back in 1911 under the name of Brescia Football Club. Le Rondinelle are well known for their blue and white shirts, but white is dominant colour in their away kit.
Atalanta are considered one of the club’s fiercest rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the Derby of Lombardy. The Stadio Mario Rigamonti outfit have rivalries with the likes of Inter, Hellas Verona and Cremonese as well. Roberto Baggio, who has 56 caps with the Italy national football team, is considered the most famous footballer who played for Brescia.
Robi scored 45 goals in 95 appearances in the Serie A for le Rondinelle. It has to be noted that the likes of Andrea Pirlo, Gheorge Hagi, Pep Guardiola, Luca Toni, Luigi Di Biagio and Dario Hubner were part of Brescia in the past as well. However, Mario Rigamonti is the club’s biggest legend as he died in the Superga air disaster back in 1949.
