Modena - Empoli

Sunday evening at Stadio Alberto Braglia, Modena and Empoli face off for matchday 5 of the Serie B season. Both sides arrive looking to find consistency in a competitive early-season landscape. Modena, who recently drew 1-1 with Sudtirol, will rely on the expected starting XI featuring Giuseppe Caso and Giuseppe Ambrosino to spearhead their attack at home. The hosts have shown both defensive resilience and vulnerability in recent outings, and their ability to control the midfield through Giacomo Olzer and Alessandro Bianco will be central to their tactical approach.

Empoli travel to this fixture following a narrow 1-0 defeat against S.S. Arezzo, a result that highlights their ongoing battle for rhythm. The visitors must navigate the match without the suspended Marco Curto, placing added pressure on Simone Romagnoli to anchor the backline. With Stiven Shpendi leading the forward line, Empoli will aim to replicate the defensive solidity they displayed in their 1-0 win over Cremonese last month. As both teams look to climb the table, this encounter serves as a pivotal test of their current form.
