On Monday, 22 April, at 18:30 a match for the fifth place in the Italian Super League is set to take place between "Verona" and "Modena".
Verona is looking outstanding in the play-off stage, sweeping their opponents effortlessly. They toppled "Kucine-Lube" 3:0, "Modena" 3:0 and "Chisterna" 3:0, with only a narrow defeat 2:3 against "Piacenza". Verona is a huge favourite in this face-off, and I believe rightly so. If the hosts are in the right mindset, they might just close it out with a clean sweep 3:0.
The guests gave a solid run throughout the tournament, however, their recent form is a room for concern. They lost to "Trentino" 0:3, "Piacenza" 1:3, though they managed to outrank "Padova" 3:1 in the previous stage, albeit a rather weak team. Modena recently has had too many flawed performances.
Since 2023, the two clubs faced each other five times. "Verona" came out on top three times (3:0, 3:0, 3:2), with "Modena" securing victories twice (3:2, 3:1).
Considering the distribution of power ahead of the game, I predict "Verona" should come out as victors, rather comfortably at that. I'm going for HANDICAP1 in sets (-1.5) at 1.5, as I can't see how Modena could pull off a surprise with their current form.
