Modena and Empoli look for stability at Stadio Alberto Braglia
Sunday evening at the Stadio Alberto Braglia, Modena and Empoli meet for matchday 5 of the Serie B season. With both sides navigating the early-season landscape, the fixture represents a significant opportunity to establish momentum in a competitive division.
Expected lineups and personnel news
Modena are expected to field a side spearheaded by Giuseppe Caso and Giuseppe Ambrosino, the latter of whom has been in fine form, contributing to six goals in his last ten appearances. The midfield trio of Giacomo Olzer, Alessandro Bianco, and Gaston Brugman will look to control the center, supported by a defensive line anchored by Leandro Chichizola in goal.
Empoli travel with a reshuffled defensive unit due to the suspension of Marco Curto, forcing a tactical adjustment at the back. Jacopo Seghetti is expected to start in goal, with Stiven Shpendi and Edoardo Saporiti tasked with leading the attacking line. The visitors will need a disciplined performance to manage the absence of a key defensive figure.
Modena's search for home comfort
Modena enter this fixture under a degree of local pressure to secure their first home victory of the season. Their recent form has been mixed, highlighted by a strong 3-0 away win against Cremonese at the end of August, followed by a narrow loss to Avellino and a draw with Sudtirol.
Beyond the current squad, the atmosphere around the club is bolstered by the arrival of new signing Andrea Belotti. While his exact involvement remains a point of intrigue, his presence provides a fresh narrative for the home support as they look to see their side improve upon their recent results at the Braglia.
Empoli's quest for a response
Empoli arrive in Modena following a disappointing home defeat to S.S. Arezzo, a result that has sharpened the focus on their early-season standing. Their recent run has been inconsistent, with a narrow victory over Carrarese preceded by a difficult 3-1 loss to Mantova.
Having secured a win against Cremonese earlier in the campaign, the visitors have shown they can compete with established sides. However, finding consistency in the final third will be paramount if they are to leave with a positive result on Sunday.
Historical context of the rivalry
Meetings between these two clubs have often been closely contested affairs. In their most recent encounter in January 2026, the sides played out a goalless draw, reflecting the tight nature of their competition.
Looking back to October 2025, Modena secured a 2-1 victory, a result that underscores their ability to edge these matchups when playing at home. Both teams will be keen to tip the scales in their favour as they renew their rivalry in this matchday 5 clash.
