<html> <head> <title>Pescara vs Modena: Tactical Preview, Odds and Value Picks</title> </head> <body> <h2>Pescara vs Modena – Data, Dynamics and Value</h2> <p>The Oracle sees a Serie B matchup defined by clashing profiles: Pescara’s chaotic, high-variance home games against Modena’s disciplined, low-scoring away DNA. The market prices Modena as a clear road favorite (1.74 ML), but recent form and venue-specific splits argue for a more balanced contest at the Stadio Adriatico.</p> <h3>Form and Momentum</h3> <p>Pescara remain in the relegation places but show modest improvement: a gritty 2-2 at Juve Stabia featured goals from Giacomo Olzer and Lorenzo Sgarbi. Across the last eight league matches, Pescara’s goals against have fallen ~10% versus their season average, and while points haven’t flowed, performances have stabilized enough to make them live underdogs at home.</p> <p>Modena’s overall season is the stronger body of work, sitting in the playoff mix. However, the last eight games tell a different story: just 0.63 points per game, five defeats, and a three-game losing streak. The attack has slowed (0.88 goals per game in that span), which is the crux of the case against laying a short price on the away win.</p> <h3>Tactics and Matchups</h3> <p>Pescara’s likely 3-4-2-1 leans on wing-back thrusts from Tommaso Corazza and Andrea Oliveri to feed Antonio Di Nardo, with Olzer drifting into pockets between Modena’s lines. Expect plenty of wide entries and crosses; it’s a setup that boosts both corners and late chances as Pescara often grow into home matches.</p> <p>Modena’s 3-5-2 is built from structure: Davide Adorni marshals a compact back line, with Fabio Gerli and Simone Santoro setting the midfield tempo. Up top, Ettore Gliozzi remains the primary finisher, aided by runners like Francesco Di Mariano and the width of Francesco Zampano. Away from home, Modena compress games, concede little, and often keep the tempo measured.</p> <h3>Goal Timing: Second-Half Tilt</h3> <p>Both sides are second-half teams. Pescara score 56% of their goals after the interval and concede 70% in that window, with a particularly strong finish at home (six goals scored and none conceded from 76-90). Modena lean 69% of their scoring to the second half; away they’ve posted seven second-half goals against only two conceded. This symbiosis points toward a livelier second half and elevates markets like “Highest Scoring Half – 2nd” and second-half goal lines.</p> <h3>Corners Market: The Hidden Edge</h3> <p>While 1x2 feels finely poised, the corners market looks mispriced. Pescara matches average 11.37 corners; Modena’s away games sit at 11.22. Over 9.5 corners has landed in 68% of Pescara’s overall sample and a striking 78% for Modena away. With both managers using wing-backs and encouraging width, this angle stands out at 1.91.</p> <h3>Players to Watch</h3> <ul> <li>Giacomo Olzer (Pescara): Five league goals and a recent strike signal form. Occupies the half-spaces where Modena’s back three can be stretched laterally.</li> <li>Antonio Di Nardo (Pescara): Five goals; runs the channels and attacks early crosses.</li> <li>Ettore Gliozzi (Modena): Nine league goals, the penalty focal point, but away returns are thinner; still the main threat.</li> <li>Francesco Zampano (Modena): Key supply from the right; contributes to both chance creation and corner count.</li> </ul> <h3>Odds and Value Positions</h3> <p>The Oracle’s top ticket is Over 9.5 corners at 1.91, supported by persistent high-corner environments for both teams. The second value pocket is Pescara +0.5 at 2.10—backing the home side to avoid defeat against a Modena team in meaningful downturn. For flow, “Highest Scoring Half – 2nd” at 2.05 aligns with both teams’ goal timing. Finally, Modena under 1.5 team goals at 1.90 matches their away scoring rate and recent offensive regression.</p> <h3>Verdict</h3> <p>Expect a cagey first act and a stretched, chance-rich second half. Modena’s season-to-date is superior, but their current dip and Pescara’s home resilience tilt the value toward the hosts on the handicap, with corners the standout market. Watch Olzer’s influence between the lines and Zampano’s deliveries; they’re likely to shape both the chance count and the corner totals.</p> </body> </html>
