Past meetings between these two sides have usually been closely fought, but this clash at Stadio Alberto Braglia looks to favour the hosts much more, with 100 match simulations indicating Modena have a chance of winning as many as 57 times. Modena, led by Daniele Galloppa, are set to deploy a 4-3-3 formation with Giuseppe Ambrosino as the central striker, flanked by Giacomo Olzer and Giuseppe Caso. Meanwhile, Empoli set up in a 3-5-2 system, using Matteo Egan and Niccolo Corrado as wing-backs on either flank to push forward and assist the defense. If the hosts make the most of their home advantage, apply pressure, and break through to take the lead first, the game should open up and play right into Modena's attacking hands to control the tempo and close out the match.
