Modena has looked decidedly better in recent weeks, earning 1.8 points per match in their last five outings, whereas Cesena is in fatal form with just 0.2 points per match and a streak of four defeats. The hosts hold a clear advantage in home games with a 43% win rate and a positive goal difference (+7), as well as better xG statistics (1.7 vs 1.04). In away matches, Cesena concedes an average of 1.43 goals per game with a negative goal difference (-3) and only 7% clean sheets, making them highly susceptible to conceding. Modena also commands better average possession (52% vs 50%) and higher shot conversion in home matches, which should translate into control of the game. Taking all these factors into account, I predict a victory for the hosts, although Cesena has the potential to cause an upset, hence I leave some probability for a draw or an away win.
