Benevento are back in Serie B after winning promotion from the third tier. They didn't go far in the Coppa Italia, going out in the previous round, but their form towards the end of last season was reasonable enough. In their last ten matches, they won four, drew three and lost three. Over that run, they averaged 1.7 goals scored and 1.5 conceded per game - there's attacking potential there, but the defence is far from watertight.

Modena came close to promotion last season, reaching the play-offs but ultimately missing out on a top-flight place. The new campaign has started poorly as well - they were knocked out of the Coppa Italia just days ago. Across their last ten matches, Modena have won just two, drawn two and lost six, with their form dipping sharply towards the end of last season. They concede an average of 1.6 goals per game, and defensive fragility remains one of the main reasons they struggle to pick up points consistently.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Benevento are considered favourites for this match, though that assessment is open to question. Home advantage will count in their favour, but Modena are the better side in terms of quality, have more experience in Serie B, and were pushing for promotion last season. The visitors have a good chance of at least avoiding defeat. Our pick is Modena not to lose. Predicted score: 1-2.
