L’ultimo sgambetto per la capoclassifica?

After a significant hiatus, Carrarese and Modena are set to face each other in Serie B for the second time in just five months. Their upcoming mid-week match, part of the 2025-2026 season, promises another intriguing encounter. Their last meeting on May 4th ended 2-1 in favor of Carrarese, a game notable for its drama: a penalty awarded to each side (Schiavi scoring at 42` and Gliozzi at 63`), two red cards (Fiorillo at 20` and Oliva at 97`), and a decisive header from Illanes in the dying minutes, securing a victory for the Tuscan team.

Prior to their recent Serie B encounters, between the 1982-1983 and 2021-2022 seasons, the teams clashed 14 times in Serie C. The historical record for these matches shows 6 victories for Carrarese, 5 draws, and 3 wins for Modena, with Carrarese scoring 18 goals and Modena 12.

Modena`s last victory, for the `Canarini` as they are known, was in the 2021-2022 Serie C season, ending 2-3. That match saw Silvestri score in the first half and Minesso bag a brace in the second, with Marino and Battistella finding the net for Carrarese. The most common scoreline has been 1-0 in favor of Carrarese, occurring three times, most recently in the 1999-2000 season.
