Palermo, dopo l'allenamento due giorni di riposo per i giocatori: poi testa all'Ascoli

The match on Saturday will be the 25th confrontation at the Braglia between Modena and Palermo. The previous matches have favored the home team, with Modena winning 12 times and drawing 7, while Palermo has only had 5 victories. The most recent win for Palermo was last year, when they defeated Modena 2-0 with goals from Brunori and Valente in the first half. The first ever victory for Modena against Palermo dates back to 1937, with a 3-1 victory. Most of the matches at the Braglia have taken place in Serie B, with two historical encounters in Serie A in 1963 and 1948, resulting in dominant wins for Modena. There was also a match between the two clubs in Serie C, which Modena won 3-0. Although the overall results favor Modena, they have not won against Palermo at home since 2002. However, it is worth noting that the two teams have only faced each other twice since then. Modena also has a record to break against Palermo’s coach Corini, as they have never won against him in three previous encounters. The match will take place on Saturday at 2 PM at the Braglia stadium in Modena.
