The 6th day of the Serie B championship ended with a match between Modena and Hellas Verona at the Alberto Braglia stadium. The match, expected to be a fascinating challenge, promised to offer interesting tactical ideas for both teams. Modena, who are in fourth place with 10 points, arrive on the field in good form, while the yellow-blues, just in seventh place, try to consolidate their position after the victory in the Veneto derby against Vicenza.
Modena, led by new coach Daniele Galloppa, has adopted a more dynamic 4-2-3-1 compared to the rigid 3-5-2 used the previous season. The team has already collected 10 points in five matches, with three wins, one draw and one defeat. Among the most significant results are the victory at home against Empoli (2-1) and the draw in Bolzano against Südtirol (1-1). The Emilian defense was particularly solid, with only four goals conceded, among the best of the tournament. The attack, however, showed a good balance, with eight goals in total: Ambrosino, Olzer and Caso each scored two goals, supported by assists from Tonoli and Ambrosino. Goalkeeper Chichizola was protected by a four-man defensive line, with Tonoli, Nador, Nieling and Zampano. In midfield, Brugman and Bianco played key roles, while the offensive area was led by Ambrosino, with the support of Azzi, Olzer and Caso.
For Verona, the air at home is more relaxed after the 2-1 victory against Vicenza, which gave a morale boost to the gialloblù. Currently in seventh place, Marco Baroni's team has 7 points, three points behind their rival on the day. However, the manager faces some injury issues: Serdar has returned to training but is still recovering, while Slotsager is a doubt. In contrast, Ekuban returned to form and showed marked improvement. The attack is led by Mosquera, who scored a crucial brace in the derby, and Suslov, who is back in form after his absence. Sezonienko, who showed good performances in the friendlies, is another key figure in attack.
Tactically, Verona should line up with the usual 4-3-3. The defensive line will probably be composed of Calabrese (or Zappa), Dawidowicz, Edmundsson and Bradaric, with Leali as the external defender. In midfield, Le Borgne, Iannoni and Lella (or Bernede) should occupy the three places, while the attack will be led by Mosquera, with Sezonienko and Sarr on the sides. With these lineups, both teams seem ready to give their all in the next match, trying to consolidate their position in the standings and maintain high motivation for future challenges.
