Carrarese vs Modena prediction, odds and how to watch

Pietro Iemmello's 83rd-minute right-foot finish settled a tight Serie B contest at Catanzaro, giving the hosts a victory their pressure probably deserved. Carrarese arrived with a poor recent record and left with nothing.

Südtirol led through Alvin Okoro's first-half goal but Giuseppe Ambrosino equalised two minutes from time to snatch a point for Modena in a match the visitors dominated on the numbers.

Giacomo Olzer scored twice before half-time and Giuseppe Caso added a third as Modena produced a clinical away performance to dismantle Cremonese 3-0 in Serie B. Cremonese created plenty of activity but zero end product, and that tells you everything you need to know.

Ascoli dominated possession and created the better chances but were pegged back by a Gabriele Gori equaliser in the 82nd minute, leaving both sides to share the spoils in a frustrating Serie B draw.

Avellino took all three points at Modena with a Michele Besaggio goal in the eighth minute, and Modena never showed enough desire or threat to drag themselves back into it.

Carrarese head into Saturday's Serie B fixture against Modena without a win in their last five completed matches. Modena are no world-beaters themselves, but they look a different animal to the side hosting them.

Modena have managed just one clean sheet in their last ten Serie B matches, and Hellas Verona are coming to town having scored eight goals in four away outings. This has the makings of a scrap, and somebody's defensive frailties are about to be brutally exposed.

Calcio Padova host Carrarese on Sunday knowing a win keeps the pressure on. Carrarese arrive having won none of their last five in Serie B.
