After the international break, Serie B returns with the 14th matchday of the championship which will open today with the advance between Cosenza And Modena. At the San Vito “Marulla” Stadium, two teams with equal points will face each other and want to try to overtake each other in the standings. Kick-off set for 8.30pm. The Calabrian club wants to dispel the taboo of winning at home which has been missing for more than two months now. Modena, on the other hand, wants to find continuity after a period that was too fluctuating in terms of results.
How Cosenza arrives
Cosenza is coming off a good away win against Brescia which rekindled the enthusiasm of the square and confirmed the excellent moment of the Calabrian team: fifth consecutive useful result with two wins and three draws. However, the victory at home has not come for more than two months, since the 2-1 on 15 September against Sampdoria and Cosenza’s objective is to return to celebrating in front of their own fans. Alvini should opt for the 3-4-2-1 with Micai between the posts and the three-man line made up of Venuti, Dalle Mura and Caporale. On the two full-strength lanes, Ricciardi and Ricci are the favourites, Charlys and Kouan seem to be the ones chosen to manage the ball in the middle of the pitch. Florenzi should be supported by Mazzocchi, in support of the lone striker Sankah, but Strizzolo is eager for a starting shirt.
How Modena arrives
Continuity is the mission for Modena. One victory, two defeats and two draws for the Emilian team who just can’t find the right rhythm to move up in the standings. Unlike Cosenza, a four-man defense is expected for Mandelli’s team: Gagno between the posts, a defensive line made up, in all likelihood, of Dellavalle, Cauz, Caldara and Idrissi. Battistella and Santoro in the middle of the pitch, Palumbo as advanced director with Gerli and Bozhanaj. Defrel favored in the center forward role.
