RdC: “At the restart, Modena will find that Parma is injured”

“Parma will be injured when Modena restarts” – headlines Resto del Carlino.

The Dukes unexpectedly lost in Lecco. Meanwhile, Riccio and Bonfanti are in the U20 national team, and Guibre has been called up to Burkina Faso.

As every year, the good one is the one who can predict what will happen in the Serie B championship. Cremonese are again among the teams fighting at the top, Como were already there, but sacked Longo and promoted Fabregas, Palermo seemed to be the best, but he finds there was no peace, and the leaders of Parma went over to Lecco, who in the meantime had emerged from the crisis with Bonazzoli. Modena will certainly have a stake in the result of the Ducali as the two teams returning from knockout face each other after the break and the tension of the derby builds into further pressure. But it is clear that in other results the canaries are somehow glued to the TV. The moral of the story is that Bianco will spend the break in fifth place, level on points with Cremonese, who has again emerged as a formidable contender in the play-off race and was also predictable, just as Sampdoria’s comeback will be all but inevitable. If you already look at the Tardini derby on November 25th, the numbers that made Modena and Parma what they are today stand out. The Yellows will put up a significant result, being an unbeaten away team (3 wins and 3 draws, fourth in scoring), while Pecchia’s side are also top in home performance (5 wins and 2 draws) with 11 goals scored . and 3 conceded.

Figures that predict a balanced encounter on paper, but which recognize that the value of Pecchia’s team is something greater than that of not only Modena, but most B teams. Modena, however, is weighed down by three big matches, having lost at home to Venezia, Palermo and Sampdoria, home results will have to improve, but that’s another story. […].
