Serie B: Ascoli-Modena, the probable lineups and where to follow the match

Delicate and very important away match for Modena, expected this afternoon (2pm) at the “Del Duca” against Ascoli in the match valid for the 34th day of the Serie B championship. Debut on the yellow-blue bench for mister Pierpaolo Bisoli and the canaries at looking for a victory that has been missing for three months now (3-0 against Parma at the end of January). Modena has not won for eleven matches (eight draws and three defeats, the last against Catanzaro which also led to the dismissal of Paolo Bianco) and away from Braglia who have suffered seven draws and three defeats in the last ten away matches (the away win has been missing since last November 4th, 2-1 in Catanzaro). The usual support of the people of Modena will not be missing even in the Marche region, for the third to last away match of the season. Over 320 Canarian fans following their hometown team and ready as always to support the yellow and blue colors with great energy and passion. Today’s meeting will be directed by Giovanni Ayroldi from Molfetta, assisted by assistants Mauro Vivenzi and Alessandro Lo Cicero both from Brescia. The fourth official will be Lorenzo Maccarini from Arezzo, while at VAR and AVAR there will be Lorenzo Maggioni from Lecco and Davide Ghersini from Genoa respectively.

WHERE TO SEE THE MATCH – It will be possible to follow Ascoli-Modena live on Sky and Dazn, in addition to our usual live broadcast on the ParladiSport.it website from the “Del Duca” stadium in Ascoli.

LISTEN HERE – Out the injured Bayeye, Adjapong, D’Uffizi, Botteghin, Gagliolo, Mendes, Bogdan and Kraja. Bellusci, who has served a one-match suspension, is back available. Space for the 3-5-2: Quaranta is hot in defence, while in midfield it’s a toss-up between Caligara and Giovane. In attack, the Duris-Rodriguez pair with Nestorovski also in contention. Mister Carrera presented this afternoon’s match like this: “The match against Modena is very important, we all know it. We worked well during the week and with only one objective, to win the three points at any cost. It’s difficult to understand how the Gialloblù will play after Bisoli’s arrival, we think about ourselves.”

HERE MODENA – 23 players called up by Mister Bisoli: absent Duca (physiotherapeutic recovery after 2nd degree distraction of the left iliopsoas muscle), Ponsi (preparation for right elbow surgery) and Vandelli (low back pain), as well as long-term patients Gerli (physiotherapeutic recovery after Achilles tendon surgery right), Gargiulo (competitive recovery after surgery on the left foot) and Guarino (final phase of competitive recovery from right thigh muscle injury). Cauz, however, is back available, having recovered from the muscle strain that forced him to sit out against Ternana and Catanzaro. Seculin is also there, although he is not at his best due to a back problem. Also notable is the presence on the list of the young left back, born in 2005, Edoardo Olivieri, a protagonist with Paolo Mandelli’s Primavera and now his number one call-up to the first team. We are moving towards the use of 4-4-2, but possible surprises cannot be ruled out: probable starting shirt for Gagno in goal, Riccio and Cotali in defence, Santoro (or Oukhadda) and Corrado in midfield and Tremolada and one of Gliozzi, Abiuso and Strizzolo in attack.
