Pescara vs Modena Betting Preview
Modena began the season on the wrong foot and drew consecutive games, but they managed to turn the ship around and they are now back in the race for promotion. It's been a while since they played in Serie A but a victory tonight will ensure the fact that they will have a chance at proving their worth in the playoffs. Pescara is the team blocking their way, one that lacks motivation as it is bound to finish in the second half regardless of what happens tonight.

Pescara vs Modena Betting Tips
Pescara is one of the teams who has nothing to fight for, because with two rounds left to be played, they are at eight points distance from both promotion and relegation area. The moment it became obvious that they have no chance at fighting for a place in Serie A, they no longer focused at the task at hand, with the best proof being that they only won once in the last nine games.
Both at home and on the road, Pescara uses a 5-4-1 starting formation with Maniero being usually preferred by coach Cosmi. More recently, he was kept on the bench and Ragusa took his place, but he is hardly a threat for a precise defensive, having scored just eight goals this season.
By comparison, the visitors are still very much involved in Serie B action, because they know that everything can go down the drain. 62 points are enough at the time, but since they will be playing the last round away at Cesena, so they can't afford to depend on the outcome of that fixture.
They don't have too many offensive options, but Granoche and Babacar do a great job when paired up and so far they scored a combined 37 goals. Each of them scores an average of one goal every two games and Modena wasn't held scoreless in the last eight games.
Key Facts
- Modena lost a single match in the last 20 rounds, winning 11 games and keeping clean sheets six times
- Pescara won three times in head to head games and in a total of 11 fixtures, a single match ended undecided.
Pescara vs Modena Betting Prediction
A draw or a defeat is pretty much the same for both teams, with the difference being the fact that Modena depends on this result. They will be playing accordingly and despite the fact that bookies have reduced the odds to 2.00 for a road win, punters should still back the visitors at full stakes.
