Comparative Team Statistics: Modena vs Verona

Not much shared history to lean on

The only recorded meeting between these two is a friendly from 2021, which Verona won 3-2. That was a pre-season game five years ago, not a competitive fixture, so it doesn't tell us much about this Serie B clash.

Where they sit after five games

Modena are fourth with ten points from five matches, having won three, drawn one and lost one. Verona sit eighth with seven points from the same number of games, winning two, drawing one and losing two.

Modena's goal difference is stronger too, having scored eight and conceded four, compared to Verona's ten scored and seven conceded.

It's still early days with only five rounds played, so the gap could easily narrow or grow by kickoff.

Players to watch

Modena's goals have come from a few different sources. Ambrosino and Caso both have two goals in five appearances, and Ambrosino has also set up two, alongside Tonoli's two assists.

Penalty cards:

D. Livramento x 2

For Verona, Mulattieri and Cerbone each have two goals in five games, while Mosquera has scored twice in just a single appearance, which is worth keeping an eye on. Bradarić and Le Borgne have both chipped in two assists. Livramento has also picked up two yellow cards in five matches, so discipline is something to watch there.

Goals could well be part of the story

Modena have conceded just four goals across their five league games, while Verona have shipped seven in the same span. That gap suggests Modena's defence has been the tidier of the two.

Verona haven't been short of goals themselves, though, including that 5-0 win over Arezzo. With both sides finding the net regularly, an open game wouldn't be a surprise.
