Mantova – Modena

Mantova host Modena in what promises to be a tightly contested Serie C showdown, with the two sides separated by just a single point in the table. The home side sit third with 11 points from three wins and two draws, boasting a solid 10‑5 goal difference, while Modena sit fourth on 10 points after three victories, a draw and a loss, and a respectable 8‑4 margin. Both clubs have been in good scoring form, and the narrow gap at the top of the table means the three points on offer could see Mantova edge closer to the promotion places or allow Modena to overtake them. A battle of defensive resilience versus attacking intent is likely, as each side looks to capitalize on their recent momentum and tighten the race for the coveted top spots.
