Modena 0-1 Juve Stabia result, stats and report

Modena came from behind to beat Empoli 2-1 in Serie B, with Andrea Belotti and Giuseppe Ambrosino scoring after the break to overturn Gerard Yepes's early opener for the visitors. Empoli dominated the ball and created chance after chance but paid the price for poor finishing.

Cristian Shpendi gave Cesena the lead at the half-hour mark but Antonio Di Nardo's second-half equaliser earned Juve Stabia a hard-fought draw in Serie B on Friday night. A game of genuine effort and no shortage of incident, but neither side could find a winner.

Juve Stabia came to the Menti and took a point they probably deserved, levelling through a late penalty after Tommaso Corazza had given Vicenza the lead. The home side had neither the quality nor the discipline to see it out.

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.

Juve Stabia have kept zero clean sheets in their last five Serie B matches and conceded eight goals. Südtirol arrive unbeaten in five. Something has to give.

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.

Two sides who cannot stop shipping goals and cannot find any consistency face each other in Serie B on Saturday. This one matters more than it should for both of them.
